How To Replace Switch
Power intermittently goes off. (NOTE: I've tried several extension cords with no change) When it goes off with the switch in the on position, switching the blower off and on again powers it up, but only for a short while forcing me to again power off and on again. The amount of time the blower runs doesn't appear to have a pattern in that the amount of time actually running, number of times switching it on/off, and movement don't seem to affect it going off or from being turned on again. In addition, the switch doesn't appear to be lose and even holding the switch far forward in the on position doesn't prevent it from stopping. This is a real pain in the thumb and GREATLY extends the time on task.
