Milwaukee Paddle Assembly
Model Number: 14-78-0500
The Milwaukee 14-78-0500 is a genuine OEM Paddle Assembly for Milwaukee angle grinders equipped with a paddle switch. The paddle is the large trigger the operator squeezes along the underside of the grinder to run the tool, and this part supplies it as a complete assembly rather than as the individual paddle, spring, and linkage pieces, so the trigger mechanism goes back together correctly as a unit. Pressing the paddle actuates the switch to power the grinder, and releasing it lets the paddle return and the tool shut off, which is the core control interface of a paddle-switch grinder and, on models with lock-off, part of the safety switching system. Because the paddle is squeezed on every use and sits exposed on the tool where it takes hand pressure and jobsite impact, it is a common wear and breakage point: a cracked, broken, or sticking paddle makes the grinder difficult or unsafe to control. Replacing it with the correct genuine Milwaukee OEM paddle assembly restores proper, reliable trigger operation.
Because Milwaukee Tool specifies replacement parts by both catalog number and serial number, always verify your tool's serial number against the official Milwaukee service parts diagram before placing your order, since running production changes can alter part compatibility within the same catalog number. This paddle assembly is documented on the service parts lists for Milwaukee angle grinders with a paddle switch, such as the 6116-31 and related 4.5 in. and 5 in. grinders, so confirm your tool's catalog and serial number against the parts diagram before ordering. The electrical switch, lock-off lever and pin, and related switch components that work with the paddle are separate parts that vary by tool, so refer to your tool's parts diagram for the correct companion part numbers and quantities, and inspect the switch and lock-off mechanism when replacing the paddle since these parts work together.
