Switch (wire Connection Screws 2607200385

Bosch 1274DVS Switch and Sliding Plate Replacements
Remove upper handle casing w/ T20 (2 screws). Screws are recessed in wells that require a narrow shafted screwdriver...the T20 in my interchangeable bit set was not long enough.
Using lg precision screwdriver, remove 2 silver screws holding black and white power input conductors. (Save and reuse screws as they are not included w/ new switch).
Insert small precision screwdriver blade tip into flat sockets on top of 2 white output wire male blade terminals to allow them to be slid out of the switch.
Install 2 silver screws into new switch (do not fully tighten).
Remove old switch and insert new switch into handle housing (do not seat it down fully yet).
Insert and tighten power input conductors and tighten silver screws.
Push male blade terminals into switch receptacles.
Route wires along switch and seat switch down into handle housing.
Replace upper handle housing and tighten T20 screws.
...also replaced sliding plate pad on belt shoe using standard, flat bladed screwdriver.
Notes: a photograph of the switch and wire positions prior to disassembly is helpful for reference. The repair process is simple but requires the correct tools. In my case, I was sent an incorrect part (switch), and had to return and reorder, adding to the cost and time. This tool had given me 9 years of good service before needing repairs. I expect to have it for many years to come.

Your web site was very helpful in identifying the potential reason for my sander not working. 75% of the time it was due to a faulty switch. I tested the switch with my voltage meter and found that electricity was delivered to the switch properly but then the switch was not delivering the current to the motor. I ordered the new switch, received it in 3 days and completed the fix. A happy success story for my favorite belt sander.
