As for your issue - I can't help you directly, but check here about fixing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wIpFZAGpGQ, it could help for sure! Moreover, if you're failed to repair your - I have that DeWalt. It's pretty decent. Probably one of the best you'll find in that price range - wisepick.org/best-bench-grinder, check it out!
As a Followup for others: the "Jet BGS8-076" grinder switch that is used by the Galaxy, Buffalo, Duracraft and TestRite grinders is no longer available. The good news is that there is a replacement switch from another manufacturer: 3030-9001 push pull switch for RDX grinders from Wholesale Tool is a direct replacement. It has the same 4-screw contacts on the back and the same push-pull diamond pattern front plate. For those with a broken grinder- here are pictures of my buffalo with a broken switch. The pics show the wiring diagram and the wire connections for the 4 contacts.
I figured it out, the springs shown fit over the 2 nipples, 1 each site of the opaque plate in the box by them. The plunger part has a shaft on which is fixed a cross plate with corresponding nipples, I fitted 1 spring to 1 side, returned all parts to thier propper place and it wors just fine

You can buy a higher current push_ON / push_off switch and perhaps floor mount IT for easy foot switch.. ttps://www.grainger.com/product/10C567?cm_mmc=PPC...
I suspect you cannot find the original switch online !
