How do I wire the switch on my sander?

My Porter Cable 6" random orbital sander's switch clogged with dust so I took it off to clean it. The four wires (two white, two black) fell off as soon as I pulled it out. The burnt-fingers method to figure out the pinout doesn't seem to work in this case.

Porter-Cable's website has proven utterly useless in an hour of trying. Could someone please email me the correct pinout for the switch? Thanks.

If you give me the model # for the Porter Cable Power Tool, I think I can help you out.
