Description
Overview:
This switch shaft is a replacement control linkage for Stihl TS400 disc cutters. It transfers motion from the external control to the internal switch mechanism so the machine can start, stop, and operate as intended. Built from durable, wear-resistant materials with a close-tolerance finish, it is designed for dependable service in dusty and high‐vibration environments typical of cut-off saws. The shaft is sized to match the original specification it replaces (Stihl reference 4223 182 0900) for straightforward fitting without modification on the TS 400/TS400. This is a Non Genuine Part, offering a practical, cost‐effective option when the original shaft is worn, bent, or broken, helping restore smooth operation and extend the service life of your cutter.
