Kippschalter/Wippschalter


Explanation:
Da ich nicht glaube, dass es sich hierbei um square dancing handelt, wird das wohl ein Schalter sein. Wahrscheinlich ein Handbuch, das von einem non-native speaker verfasst wurde.
Im Deutschen handelt es sich dabei um Wipp- oder Kippschalter - je nachdem ob hier eine Ruhestellung in der Mitte zwischen beiden Schaltstellungen vorliegt oder nicht (wenn ja, dann Wippschalter).

neutral  Endre Both: Ich denke, "swing" bezieht sich nicht auf den Schalter, sondern die anschließende Bewegung des Heizgeräts.
