3M 7000118745 Orbital Sander Lever on Off Control

Product Description

The 3M 7000118745 is a replacement lever that controls the on/off mechanism on 3M orbital sanders. This lever serves as the primary operator input for starting and stopping the tool, making it a critical serviceable component for maintaining safe and functional sander operation. It is designed for orbital sanders running at 10,000 RPM with a 3.0 mm orbit diameter, equivalent to approximately 1/8 inch of orbit. Replacement becomes necessary when the existing lever becomes worn, cracked, or fails to engage the on/off function reliably. This part is sold individually and is intended for installation by qualified tool repair technicians or experienced trade professionals.

This lever is suited for use with 3M orbital sanders that match the 10,000 RPM and 3.0 mm orbit specification. Orbital sanders in this class are commonly used in automotive bodywork, aerospace surface prep, woodworking finish work, and metal fabrication environments. The part is applicable in both shop and field repair scenarios where maintaining full tool functionality is required to keep work moving.

Key Features

• Controls the on/off function of the sander as a direct operator interface
• Compatible with 10,000 RPM orbital sanders with 3.0 mm (1/8 inch) orbit
• Sold as individual replacement unit for targeted component repair

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3M orbital sanders operating at 10,000 RPM with a 3.0 mm orbit diameter. Consult the tool service manual or 3M technical support to confirm fitment for your specific sander model before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pneumatic or electric tool repair technician. Before beginning any disassembly, disconnect the sander from its air supply or power source completely. Refer to the tool service manual for the correct disassembly sequence and lever seating procedure. Do not force the lever into position, as improper installation can compromise the on/off control function and create a safety hazard.
