Switches are commonly replaced parts in power tools. A switch handles all on/off and variable speed functions and plays a role in electric braking by momentarily reversing electrical polarity. Because switches use mechanical components, they can degrade and wear out over time, eventually requiring replacement. Common signs of a broken or failing switch include: 1. The tool has completely stopped functioning and will not turn on. 2. The tool operates intermittently, requiring multiple attempts to turn on, until it eventually fails to turn on at all. 3. The variable speed function and electric brake are not working properly. Trigger Switch Part Number: 153609-00 This switch is compatible with the DW708 Cut Miter Saw Types 1, 3 & 4 ONLY.
