Switches are commonly replaced parts in power tools. A switch handles all on/off and variable speed functions. It also plays a role in electric braking by momentarily reversing electrical polarity. Because switches use mechanical internals, they tend to degrade and wear out over time, eventually requiring replacement. Some common signs of a broken or failing switch are: 1. Tool has completely stopped functioning—it will not turn on. 2. Tool operates intermittently, requiring multiple attempts to turn on, until it no longer turns on at all. 3. Variable speed function and electric braking are not working properly.
