343433070 - Metabo Angle Grinder Switch Actuator Rod 343433070

Restore Precision Control with the Metabo 343433070 Switch Rod

The Metabo 343433070 Switch Rod is a critical internal component designed specifically for Metabo angle grinders. As a genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part, it is engineered to the exact specifications of your tool, ensuring a flawless fit and reliable operation. In the high-vibration environment of industrial grinding, internal mechanical linkages can experience wear or fatigue over time. This switch rod serves as the mechanical bridge between the external paddle or slide switch and the internal electrical contact block, translating your manual input into the electrical action that powers the motor.

Constructed from high-durability composite materials, this rod is built to withstand the thermal and mechanical stresses typical of heavy-duty metalworking environments. A compromised switch rod can lead to intermittent power issues, difficulty in locking the tool in the 'on' position, or, more critically, failure to turn off immediately when the switch is released. Replacing a damaged rod with this authentic Metabo part restores the tactile feedback and safety mechanisms of your angle grinder, ensuring it meets original factory safety standards.

This component is compatible with a wide range of Metabo's renowned small angle grinders, including models in the W 9, W 11, and WE 15 series. Professional repair technicians understand that using non-OEM parts for internal mechanisms can lead to binding, misalignment, or premature failure. By choosing the 343433070 Switch Rod, you are investing in the longevity of your equipment and the safety of the operator. Installation involves accessing the handle housing of the grinder, making it a straightforward repair for maintenance personnel familiar with power tool assembly.

Technical Compatibility and Application

Designed for precision, the rod features specific molding points that engage with the switch spring and the electrical switch body. It is essential to verify your tool's model number against the compatibility list to ensure this specific revision of the switch rod is the correct match for your generation of grinder.
