Craftsman Chainsaw Switch

The ignition switch is the part of lawn and garden equipment that features an ignition to turn on and off with a switch. These are common on lawn tractors, as well as some lawn mowers, wood chippers, tillers, and log splitters. While these switches tend to be robust, they may eventually wear out. Some might have a mechanical failure after being used for years. Others might have electrical issues. Regardless of the reason for the failure, they will need to be replaced to continue using the machine. This is a genuine OEM part that is sold individually. It is a complete kit, which will include not only the switch, but also a washer and nut to secure the switch into the housing, and two ignition keys. The ignition switch can work with lawn tractors from brands such as MTD, Ryobi, Troy-Bilt, Bolens, Yard Machines, and Craftsman.

Designed for use with a wide range of string trimmers, this momentary switch is a genuine OEM replacement part. A momentary switch, also known as a kill switch, is a safety precaution that kills an appliance's engine in a moment, even if the engine is not set to the off position. This helps prevent accidents if the operator begins to lose control of the trimmer. At the touch of a button, the engine cuts and cannot be restarted for a short period (usually about five seconds). Momentary switches are positioned in a way that they don't often sustain damage but, over time, they can wear out. Once a switch stops working, it will need to be replaced to ensure safe operation. This is a fairly straightforward fix that only requires a screwdriver to open the tiller's handle and pliers to safely remove the wiring. This part is designed for string trimmers made by Poulan, Weed Eater, Paramount, and Husqvarna. It ships individually of any other hardware is comes sourced from the original manufacturer.

This authentic OEM part is a replacement momentary switch meant for a chainsaw or edge trimmer. Also known as a kill switch, a momentary switch acts as a safety measure to immediately shut off the appliance's motor. If the user begins to lose control of the appliance, they can simply hit the momentary switch and the engine will disengage even if it is not currently in the off position. This helps to prevent accidents and bodily harm. When engaged, the engine requires a five second waiting period before it can restart. Over time and through repeated use, switches can naturally become worn out. They may also be damaged if knocked against something hard on accident. Replacing this switch will require a screwdriver to access the switch located in the handle of the appliance. Once accessed, the switch can easily be replaced by detaching the wires and inserting the new part. Be sure to follow the user's manual as this process will vary depending on the appliance. This part is sourced directly from its original manufacturer and will work with Poulan and Weed Eater appliances. This part ships individually.
