Description
Overview:
This switch shaft is a replacement control component for Stihl chainsaws and is used to transfer movement from the external control lever to the internal switch and linkage. Built from a durable, fuel‐ and oil‐resistant moulded polymer in a compact black form, it withstands vibration and regular use in forestry, landscaping, and farm work. It helps restore precise selection of run/stop and starting positions, supporting safe and consistent operation of the machine. Suitable for a range of mid‐size Stihl saws, including the MS311 and MS391, it is designed to fit the original housing without modification and to work with the existing lever, springs, and contacts. Use it to replace worn, cracked, or distorted shafts that cause vague control or misalignment.
Key Features:
- Direct-fit replacement for listed Stihl chainsaws, matching the original geometry
- Tough moulded polymer construction resists fuel, oil, moisture, and workshop grime
- Positive engagement to help maintain accurate run/stop and start settings
- Stable under heat and vibration for dependable performance in everyday use
- Lightweight part that does not add bulk or affect balance of the saw
- Helps restore consistent switching when the original shaft is worn or broken
- Installs with basic hand tools; no modifications to the housing required
- Smooth surfaces to minimise friction and wear against mating components
- Supports safe operation by improving control alignment and feel
- OEM reference 1140 182 0901 provided for easy identification
Typical Applications:
Used during routine servicing or repairs of Stihl chainsaws to resolve issues such as stiff, loose, or misaligned control levers, non‐engagement of stop/run functions, or unreliable starting positions. Suitable for workshop overhauls, field repairs, and fleet maintenance.
