- Obtain two 4" (approximate length) pieces of 22 AWG wire.
- Strip 1/2" of insulation off both ends of each wire.

adjustment you can make on the handle of the wire cutters/strippers that will close
the cutters to the diameter of the conductor for ease of stripping.
- Solder one end of each wire to the terminals of the switch. Be sure to tin the
iron tip. Avoid excessive time of contact of the iron tip with the switch terminals.
In addition, be very careful about what you touch with the hot iron tip. It is very
