Introduction

The switch trigger provides power to the electric motor when the switch is activated. When you engage the trigger, the electric motor will turn on and activate the random orbital motion of the disc. No soldering is required to replace the switch trigger assembly as it is connected to the electronics using spade connectors.

Before starting your switch trigger replacement, make sure the power cable is disconnected.
