Paul_ Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 I'm having some issues with my Silca Lancer Plus, the switch on the handle is now only working intermittently, ever third or fourth key i have to spin the blade then it works. I was thinking of just re-wiring the power cord into the machine and using the on/off switch at the front but was wondering if this handle switch is a replaceable part. I've rang 2 different Silca suppliers today with no definite answer. I see SKS do a replacement micro switch but i do not have an account with them so was after an answer here before i went any further. All advice appreciated.

grahamparker Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 It is most likely the spring or microswitch in the handle. Spare parts all listed here. https://www.aldridgesecurity.co.uk/c-858-lancer-plus.aspx Paul_ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_ Posted September 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Thank you one spring ordered. If that doesn't fix it i will replace the micro switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eimco Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 I have had a similar problem with my bravo pro the blade was slow to spin. I changed the capictior on the machine. Worked a dream. The part only cost a 10er it might be that. Happy Dude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you rewire the power button on the bottom to bypass the handle/trigger and see if it still happens. eimco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYKeys Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Agreed, more likely to be the capacitor. I've had mine about three years and have had to replace it twice. They're ridiculously expensive (the caps) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eimco Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 You can buy the capacitor in any electric wholesalers. That's where I bought mine for the Bravo and Matrix Pro. They both went in mine and where not expensive at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_ Posted September 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Thanks for our advice. Spring arrived today, hopefully I'll get a chance to have a play around tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt@Silca Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Your description of the issue does sound as though the capacitor needs replacing. The Silca part number for this is D900013ZR and is available via your supplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
