SKILSAW Professional Model 77 WORM DRIVE 7 1/2' CIRCULAR SAW. I think this saw is a piece of cheap crap!!! I have never had a 77 go down and we do nothing for mantiance never touched the oil or anything. 2 years ago I bought a dewalt wormdrive the first thing to brake was the blade gaurd handle, then the blade gaurd itself bent and would stick.(very dangerous and when you try to bend the cast metal it will crack) This saw was our least used saw and it went down about a month ago so I took it in and the repairs were going to be more than a new saw. I had a new bed put on it and a new handle, the case is dented but it still runs like a top. One was just run over by a bobcat of the excavater.

Please read the included diagrams to ensure proper wiring, as the new switch may install differently from your old switch. This OEM Bosch/Skil saw switch will include a wiring diagram, 4 mounting screws, & will have 4 internal terminals. You may need to replace the switch if the tool has stopped working, or will not turn on, as well as, the tool works intermittently, you have to pull the trigger several times to get the saw to turn on, or the variable speed or electric braking are no longer working properly. Switches are commonly replaced in tools because they use mechanical internals, which degrade & wear out with normal use.
