  1. Turn off the power supply before installation.
  2. Separate the wires on the lamp cord by making a 2-inch-long slit between the two wires where the switch is to be located.
  3. Cut the non-ribbed wire at the center of the slit.
  4. Remove the four screws from the switch base and remove the top from the base. The spring and button will also come loose.
  5. Insert the end of each non-ribbed wire into the small hole on either side of the preassembled switch inside the base. Keep the ribbed wire loose until the non-ribbed wires have been inserted.
  6. Once the non-ribbed wires are connected, note the marking inside the base labeled ā€œNā€ and route the ribbed wire into the track on that side. Ensure the wire is pressed down completely so it remains under the tabs.
  7. Place the spring and button in order over the switch, then squeeze the top and base together completely and tighten all screws.

Wire Removal

If you need to remove a wire after it has been inserted, locate the small hole on the end of the switch with the wire to be removed. Insert a slotted screwdriver to release the wire and pull on the wire to remove it.
