Look for a data plate or label on your Ryobi unit — location varies by product type but is typically on the door frame, back panel, or inside the access panel. Enter the full model number in our search to match the exact OEM safety switch for your unit.
Some aftermarket parts work, but genuine OEM Ryobi parts support proper fit and performance and guarantee exact fit. Aftermarket alternatives can vary in voltage, dimensions, and durability — OEM is the safer choice for critical parts.
