You can turn a rotating switch, but you can't "turn" a toggle switch. Toggle
switched usually have only two positions - on or off. You don't flip them
(although I have been known to "flip" them off when I worked as a tech) and
you can't move them, unless you are physically relocating them to a
different area.
You "set" toggle switches. Set the Upmtifratz toggle switch to its ON or up
position. Set the Griboframiz switch to its OFF of down position.
