type. On newer Switches, some terminals have screw fasteners.
To remove wires from the push-in terminals, insert 1.3mm [.05in]
approximate diameter pin or the blade of a jeweler's screwdriver
all the way into the terminal socket to release the spring clamp.
Grasp the tool and wire and pull them together out of the socket.
If you have difficulty removing the wires from the push-in terminals
and you have wire-cutting, stripping, and soldering tools, you can
cut the wires off where they exit from the termi nals. To prepare
the cut wires for installation into the replacement Switch, strip
them back exactly 8.25 mm [5/16 in], then apply solder to the
stripped ends to fuse the strands together.

Connect Wires to New Trigger Switch as shown in the
Wiring Diagram. Push wires all the way in, so that no bare wire

is exposed. On Screw Terminal 1, push the wire lead all the way
into the socket then tighten the screw firmly. Push the other wire
lead all the way into terminal 6. Pull on all the wires , mak ing sure
they are secure. Place Switch back into Base mounting bracket.
