Before you replace the on-off switch on your leaf blower make sure the engine has cooled and the switch itself is in the “off” position.

Remove the wire and boot from the spark plug.

4
Now use a t-25 torx bit screwdriver to unthread the mounting screws securing the engine cover.

With the screws removed, carefully detach the cover.
6
Next, detach the throttle linkage from the trigger and remove the trigger.
7
Remove the on-off switch from the handle and disconnect the two wires.
8
Prepare the new on-off switch for installation by transferring the terminal plate from the old switch to the new one.

To do this, first disconnect the wire then use a phillips-head screwdriver to remove the screw securing the knob.

Lift off the knob and remove the plate.
11
Align the plate on the new switch.
12
Position the new knob and secure it with the screw.

Make sure the wires are secured in the grooves on the handle.
16
Realign the throttle trigger.
17
Confirm that the linkage is attached to the throttle cable and that the cable is aligned with the groove in the cable guide.
