Review: Worked perfectly - The trigger on my old miter saw broke and I ordered this so that I could replace it and it fit perfectly!
Review: This switch does NOT FIT in a Dewalt DW717 miter saw ! - DO NOT BUY FOR A DW 717 Type 2 - this is NOT a workable replacement part: 1. it does not fit. when installed correctly, the trigger pull starts the saw, but when released, does not turn off the saw. the finger trigger itself is too fat too allow the spring to turn off the saw. you can turn it off only by assisting the trigger back into off position. 2. Wiring is "backwards". this replacement's electrical connections are opposite the OEM part, so I had to switch R side wires to L, and vice versa. (Before I switched the wires, the saw turned itself on as soon as it was plugged in!)

## Features

- Brand New - Unused Parts Top Quality, Generic Aftermarket Part
- Includes One (1) Trigger Switch as pictured
- Voltage: 125/250V Amperage: 24A/12A This trigger switch is an over hang trigger switch with a large button. Switches are commonly replaced parts in power tools.
- A switch handles all on/off and variable speed functions. They also have a role in electric breaking; they can momentarily reverse electrical polarity, because switches use mechanical internals, they tend to degrade and wear out over time eventually requiring replacement.

DO NOT BUY FOR A DW 717 Type 2 - this is NOT a workable replacement part: 1. it does not fit. when installed correctly, the trigger pull starts the saw, but when released, does not turn off the saw. the finger trigger itself is too fat too allow the spring to turn off the saw. you can turn it off only by assisting the trigger back into off position. 2.
