Introduction

The switch actuator is a red, rectangularly shaped plastic that physically turns the tool on and off. If your tool isn’t turning on when the battery is working just fine, it could failing to turn on due to dirt or debris. But if the switch is cracked or broken, the switch actuator will not properly alert the tool to power on and you’ll need to follow this guide to replace the switch actuator.

What you need

Step 1

              Lever assembly
  • Place the tool on its side so the orange and white warning label barcodes are facing up.
  • The lever and battery base of the tool should point toward you.

  • Use a 5.5 mm nut driver to unscrew the Hex nut.
  • If the Hex nut is not unscrewing easily- you can use a 3 mm Hex head screwdriver to hold the other side of the screw still.

Step 4

  • Pinch the lever with your fingers and pull it up and away from the tool. The lever pops right off! You can squeeze on the lever, and it will come off just as easily.
  • When replacing your new lever assembly, make sure the black torsion (the black staple-like hinge) is oriented correctly.
