Removed the 3 or 4 screws from the handle and just replaced the switch. Very easy!

Unplugged the saw from power!
Removed the pulley cover, which had suffered damage, plastic was broken at two attachment locations.
Unscrewed the screws holding the handle together an separated the handle halves.
Unplugged the three wires from the old stuck trigger switch.
Plugged the wires into the new part.
Replaced the handles with new screws
Installed the new brushes, saved the old ones they still have some use left.
Installed the new pulley cover with new fasteners.
Added power and tested the new switch and the saw works only when I want it too.

Unplug the saw, of course.

You will need to remove the screws on the handle, side cover and side plate to open get at the switch in the handle. I used a magnetic cup to hold all of the screws and put them together for each of the parts removed. The handle opens up and you will need the needle nosed pliers to pull the connectors off the switch. TAKE A PICTURE of the wires in the switch before pulling them off. This makes it super easy to push the wires onto the new switch.

Once the switch is connected and reseated, arrange the wires to allow for reassembly. Push the handle back together and fit into place and screw the handle together. Next screw the top down through the handle to hold it to the top of the saw (hex screws). Finally put the side places together. There are machine screws and regular screws, make sure you remember which go where. I marked the machine screw holes with a sharpie so I would find them.

Very easy.

I had to split the new and old switches in half. I cleaned the trigger contacts on the old switch and snapped that half onto the new switch plugged half. This was because the original switch is no longer available. The replacement switch has a different trigger and a lock button. The removal and reinstall process is pretty straight forward.

1. Remove the top carrying handle screws. 4 hex drive screws.
2. Remove 3 screws from the operating handle and 6 screws from the belt covers on the right side of the saw housing. #2 Phillips drive.
3. Remove the belt covers.
4. Open the two parts of the operating handle and located the trigger switch assembly.
>>Note the way the switch wires are routed in the handle.
5. There will be 3 wires on the switch, move these to the new switch one at time, by pulling them free with small pliers.
6. Position the switch in the operating handle and re-route the wires to keep them from being pinched while the handle halves are put together.
7. Reassemble the belt covers and reinstall all screws.

Removed the screws and replaced the switch.

R&R switch

Remove the screw from the switch housing
Noted where all the internal parts went
Removed the wires from the old switch and connected them to the new switch
Screwed the switch housing back together

Removed screws until I could get at the switch, swapped out the wires and put it back together. Easy fix. You'll need a torx bit for some screws.

Took a photo of wire color positions on old switch before removing. Made it easier to install correctly.
