## Description

Superior Electric L50 Aftermarket Trigger Switch replaces Makita 651172-0. This switch can be found in many Makita circular saws and grinders. 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. This switch proves to be a worthy replacement with supreme quality and a lower price to go with. NOTE: Some common signs of a broken or failing switch are: Tool has completely stopped functioning - it will not turn on Tool operates intermittently, requiring miltiple tries to turn on, until eventually it won't turn on at all Variable speed function and electric braking aren't working properly This part is compatible with: Makita: 5007S Circular Saw, 5007NB Circular Saw, 5008NB Circular Saw, 5007FK Circular Saw, 5007NBK Type 1 7-1/4" 15A Heavy-Gauge Aluminium Base Circular Saw, GA6010Z 10. 5A 6" Cutoff / Angle Grinder, GA5010Z 10. 5A 5" Angle Grinder, 5057KB 7-1/4" Circular Saw, 5007F 7-1/4" Circular Saw with Brake, GA5010, GA6010.

Review: Works perfectly in DeWalt DW358 circular saw but must change the wire positions - This works perfectly in my DeWalt DW358 circular saw, but you must change the wire positions. The original switch has poles on opposite ends. The new switch has each pair of poles on one end and the other end. However the most simple way to put it is this: The original wiring had both a black and white wire at each end of the switch. However to wire the new switch, you need the white wire at one end and the black wires at the the other end.
Review: Good switch, great price. - The switch fit my old black & decker reciprocating saw perfectly, just had to lengthen one wire due to power in/out being side to side rather than back to front. Switch is as well built as the stock switch in the saw, and even if it only lasts a year for the price it worth it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will this switch work in a dewalt DW358 circular saw**
A: Check the saw and if it requires a switch with two sets of contacts (one normally open and one normally closed) then make sure the switch meets these requirements. My saw was like that and the switch worked well.

**Q: will this fit makita 6477nb**
A: I have a 5007nb  the two triggers look very close but I had to shave the new one down just a little bit,so it would fit in the handle better

**Q: The trigger switch keeps blowing the circuit breaker. Tried the wiring both ways still the same results. Any suggestions?**
A: Take note of the diagram on this switch (HY38)! The contact between the two terminals on each END of the switch is closed when the trigger is pulled. The two ENDS are separate from each other. So, you should connect one line wire and one load wire on each end. (For example, the white wire from the power cord and white wire going to the motor should be connected to two terminals on the same end.)
   This is different from the factory switch on my Makita GA 6010 angle grinder, where the two SIDES are separate from each other, and the contact between the two terminals on each SIDE is closed when the trigger is pulled. If I connected the wires to this switch the same as they are connected to the Makita factory switch, I would short the power supply when I pulled the trigger!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good switch, great price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fit and Worked (Eventually), but with Backwards Wiring
*by C***B on April 1, 2024*

The switch fit perfectly and was easy to install into the saw. However, there was no wiring instructions. Almost every switch like this has the input at one end and the output at the other end. That's the way the one I took out was. I wired this one up the same way and the saw would not work after assembly. I thought maybe it was a bad switch. I had ordered 2, so I was going to try the other one. Then I thought I'd test the other one with my meter. NOTHING. I was about to fill out the return, when I had a thought to test the switching across the two terminals at the same end. Sure enough, that worked. These are wired so the one in-an-out is at one end and the other in-and-out is at the other end. So, after re-wiring, it worked perfectly. I had to kind of stretch and rearrange the wires inside the handle in order to get them to reach like that, but managed to make it work.
