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.

Leaf blower won't turn on or off? This momentary switch kit controls power to your handheld blower. Simple repair for worn or damaged switches.
The momentary switch is a part that is unique to self-propelled lawn mowers and used to control the power of the self-propelled movement. The momentary switch provides power when pressed and held, and will ensure that the unit operates properly while in use. Over time, the momentary switch can become worn, short out, or just stop working as it should. This will require a replacement with a compatible part or the self-propelled part of the machine will not work properly. This genuine OEM part is compatible with self-propelled mowers from Cub Cadet, Bolens, MTD, Murray, and Troy-Bilt. It is made of durable materials and sold individually. Replacing this switch requires a wrench and screwdriver, as well as a socket set. Without a self-propelled switch, the mower will still operate but it will require the user to push the machine with their entire body weight. This can make the process of mowing much more difficult and often cause further unnecessary wear to the machine, which is why a replacement is essential.
