Usually its the earth wire in the switch or at other end, try and see if the contact is connecting with the switch ??

Yep, under the front end of the top handle is a little wire with a spade conection that may have come loose.

Hedge trimmer is sometimes the earth again by the carb end of things same with blower, the connectors use to be quite brittel.

The ms200T's and the blowers seem to be the worst culprites. Rubbish manufacture. Made in China, assembled in Germany. EU loophole means they can market as made in Germany. Typical value engineering but sadly Stihl have no alround competition. (IMO)
