Can't find replacement microswitch?

Hi I've got an Erbeur (Screwfix) sliding mitre saw. The microswitch needs replacing but the make is Kedu HY15 (from China) & I cannot find a compatible replacement. There is no Kedu supplier in UK & can only buy in batches of 3000 from Kedu. Any help would be gratefully received.

hi have you tried removing the switch and carefully opening the case and cleaning the terminals inside as the get dirty from repeated use and sparks jumping as the switch makes contact. If the terminals are very dirty a piece of very very fine grit sandpaper or a womans nail board may be off some help. this may help you out

we do this all the time at work as i am a mechanic and some gloveboxes use the same style switch
