Description
4229 430 0202 STIHL Stop Switch – Genuine OEM Ignition Control Part
The STIHL Stop Switch (4229 430 0202) is a genuine OEM ignition control component designed to safely shut off the engine on select STIHL handheld blower models. This switch interrupts the ignition circuit, allowing the operator to quickly and reliably stop engine operation.
Over time, stop switches can wear internally, corrode, or fail due to vibration, moisture exposure, or repeated use. A faulty switch may cause difficulty shutting off the engine or intermittent ignition issues. Replacing it with the correct OEM part restores proper ignition interruption without replacing the entire control housing assembly.
Manufactured to STIHL factory specifications, this genuine stop switch ensures correct fitment, dependable operation, and long-term durability under professional operating conditions.
