Description
Overview:
The Cover Switch for Hiretech HT8 Floor Sander (MPN 163840) is a genuine Hiretech replacement part designed to protect the switch area and nearby electrics on the machine. Built from tough, impact‐resistant moulded plastic in a clean black finish, it shields the on/off switch and internal wiring from dust, debris and knocks during site or workshop use. Engineered specifically for the Hiretech HT8 and HT8 EX, it matches the original dimensions and fixing points for a straightforward swap using the sander's existing hardware. By restoring the protective housing around the controls, this cover supports safe operation and helps prevent contamination that can lead to faults. Suitable for professional hire fleets and DIY users, it maintains the original look and function of the control section without modification.
