model number

[nick]

where do you find the model number on the saw? I'm sure the switch I'm looking for is identical to the one in the pictures I have looked at, but I'm not sure if it's the right one.

Look on the motor housing - lower the saw like you're making a cut - it will be on the black DeWalt label on the motor housing to the right of the blade / blade guard assembly. Mine says "DW705", and on a line below that "Type 6". Make sure and note the Type number. There are, albeit small, definitely changes between the types. Hopefully your label is not missing.
