This Switch Shaft is a Genuine Stihl part for petrol chainsaws, designed to restore crisp, reliable control of the on/off and starting functions. Manufactured from durable, precision‐moulded polymer to resist vibration, fuel, and oil, it links the control lever to the internal switch mechanism so selections engage cleanly and stay in place.
