enables better control of the string trimmer in

with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

storing the string trimmer. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the string
trimmer accidentally.

other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
