Review on Aftermarket Eaton Style SW38D Trigger Switch: Replaces DeWalt 153609-00 – Superior Electric by Jeremy Gorsage

The switch worked great on my old Chicago Electric miter saw (45885). I had to widen the hole in the handle a bit to accommodate this switch. My only criticism is that Revain and/or its suppliers are very bad at describing how the contacts on these switches work. For my saw I needed a normally open (NO) pair of contacts (saw performance) and a normally closed (NC) pair. A pair of break contacts close when the switch is released, allowing the back EMF current in the motor to quickly stop the blade. I originally ordered the wrong 2 pair normally open switch which I had to return before I received this one. This was because neither the descriptions nor the photos explained how the contacts work. The description of normally open and normally open contacts has been an industry standard for many years, but for some reason the descriptions of these switches ignore them.
