My Toro Ultra leaf blower suddenly stopped working, so I decided to pull it apart to see what was wrong. I figured ... it's already broken .. I can't make it any worse :-)

There's an internal switch near the base of the unit that (in my novice opinion) appears to be a cutoff switch, possibly to prevent the unit from operating once opened-up. If I manually depress the switch, the blower runs like a champ. I don't see anything that would depress the switch to keep the unit operational once fully assembled however. It's possible something inside broke-off, but nothing was 'floating around' when I opened it up. If this is simply a cutoff switch, and I force it to remain in the 'on' position, it should work. I wanted to see if anyone knew exactly what this switch was for however, before I tried this and set myself up for a shock (or worse :) later on.

Thank you in advance!
