Because switches use mechanical internals, they will degrade and wear out over time, eventually needing replacement. Some common signs of a broken or failing switch are as follows:
• The tool has completely stopped functioning - it will not start.
• The tool operates intermittently, requiring multiple tries to turn on, until eventually it won't start at all.
• The variable speed function and electric braking aren't working properly.
