Along these lines, has anyone got access to a Stihl FS36 trimmer IPL and or service manual? I broke mine apart to attempt to fix the on/off switch and when it came out, it didn't make sense how to put it back. There's a plastic switch that actuates a little bent piece of metal inside, but I can't figure out how it's supposed to actuate it. On top of it or below...
Long story short, I'd love to give my Stihl dealer some money, but not on a 17 year old trimmer that I'm probably about to replace with a shiny new one, maybe around Christmas. (Maybe some money for him then...) Was hoping to get this one back together until then without too much trial and error and would like to at least see the IPL hoping it would give me an idea how the two pieces interact with each other. Or, if anyone knows off the top of their head how that little bent metal piece is supposed to work with the on/off switch...
Back to my, "if it ain't broke, fix it?" thread, I guess I should have left well enough alone in this case. The on/off switch worked, but only after you pushed really hard on it for a few seconds would it turn off, so I thought I would attempt to fix it.
Otherwise, the trimmer works ok for as old as it is. Gonna probably need it this weekend. Thanks in advance.
