Grasp the tool and wire and pull them together out of the socket.
If you have difficulty removing the wires from the push -in termi na ls
and you have wire-cutting, stripping, and soldering tools, you can
cut the wires off where they exit from the terminals. To prepare
the cut wires for installation into the replacement Switch, strip

stripped ends to fuse the strands together.

they are secure. Place Switch back into Base mounting bracket.
