INGCO RH17001-SP-79, Power Switch( RH17001-SP-79)

product details:

The slide switch, a familiar sight on many power tools, serves as the workhorse control switch in numerous rotary hammer models. Here’s a detailed breakdown of its function, key features, and some additional considerations to keep in mind:

Function:

The slide switch acts as a simple on/off mechanism for your rotary hammer. It’s a physical switch that you move horizontally with your thumb or finger to control the flow of electricity to the motor:

• On Position: Sliding the switch to the “on” position establishes a connection between the power source and the motor. This energizes the motor, initiating the rotary hammer’s operation (drilling or hammering).
• Off Position: Sliding the switch to the “off” position severs the connection, interrupting the flow of electricity to the motor. This brings the rotary hammer to a complete stop, halting all functions.

Key Features:

While seemingly basic, the slide switch offers some key functionalities:

• Simple and Intuitive Operation: The slide mechanism is straightforward to understand and use, even for those unfamiliar with power tools.
• Compact Design: The slide switch’s design is generally space-saving, allowing for a comfortable grip on the rotary hammer.
• Positive On/Off Action: The sliding motion provides a clear tactile confirmation of the switch’s position (on or off), reducing the risk of accidental operation.

Additional Considerations:

• Lock-on Function (on some models): Some rotary hammers with slide switches might have a lock-on function. This allows you to lock the switch in the “on” position for continuous operation without needing to hold the switch constantly. To activate the lock-on, you typically slide the switch to “on” and then press a separate button. Releasing the lock button usually deactivates the lock-on function.
