Description

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.
