This guide requires and assumes proper competencies with regard to electrical and practical work,
safety and the correct use of any equipment referenced here. Always take precautions to protect
the guitar, yourself and others. Ensure that any accociated products are installed in full accordance
with the manufacturers instructions.
Check that the Free-Way Blade Switch will fit - refer to dimensional information provided
Use 22 AWG Wire, strip insulation back 5mm, twist strands and locate into terminal holes.
Make any 'daisy-chain' links and locate these into one of the terminal hole pairs.
Solder using multi-core solder. Ensure solder joint is clean and flows about terminal pad.
Avoid excessive solder, avoid contacting any other part of the switch with the soldering iron.
