Hitachi Pushing Button - 325-182

Original Hitachi pushing button — part no. 325182. A direct replacement push-button (push plate) used on handheld Hitachi/Hikoki routers; it’s the small actuator that interfaces with the router’s lock/lever assembly so the router’s collet/locking mechanism operates smoothly.

This is the genuine Hitachi push-button listed in factory parts diagrams (appears alongside the lock spring 325183 and lock screw 325187), so if your existing button is cracked, worn or won’t engage, replacing it restores the proper engagement with the lock components. The part is sold as the single push-button component from the handle/lever area and is shown in the same assembly as the collet and locking parts in the service diagrams.

Common models that use part 325182 (example fits from Hitachi/Hikoki parts diagrams) include routers such as M12VE, M12V2, M12SA2, M3612DA and M8SA / M8SA2 — check your model’s parts diagram to confirm location, but these Hitachi router list 325182 as the pushing button.

Simple to install (drops into the router’s handle/lever area and works with the associated spring and locking screw), this original Hitachi pushing button is the exact replacement part number you’ll want when the button itself is the failed item.
