Hi Nelly,
I am not too familiar with the EC120, but I would have thought the starter is locked out, one thing to remember is that the starter/generator shaft is constantly engaged so once its turning the loads acting on it remains fairly constant, hence why they shear on start up when the rotors etc are stationary.

When it broke first time I assume you were in the field, hence did the starter/generator get replaced in the field? Were there two sets of hands available?

According to PartsBase there is one in Sweden:
