This switch is responsible for controlling the power flow to the tool, enabling the user to turn the saw on and off, and potentially managing variable speed settings. It may also play a role in the electric braking system of the saw. Over time, switches can wear out due to frequent use, leading to problems like difficulty turning the tool on or off, inconsistent speed control, or even visible damage to the switch itself. Replacing the switch with a genuine part like the 998839 is essential to maintain the tool's functionality and safety. As a genuine Hitachi replacement part, the switch handles on/off and variable speed functions, and also plays a role in electric breaking. Switches use mechanical internals and will degrade over time, eventually requiring replacement.
