How to dissasemble a Double Pole Switch
 
Hi All,

Is not so much disassemble the switch, as remove it from the back box.

I have uploaded a picture to the DIY Wiki,

And hope posting its file name here allows the more tech savvy of You to take a gander.

I presume its something to do with the small slot / hole underneath (Ooo-err missus!).

But I dont want to go poking blindly and break something.

TIA

Chris

With the similar-looking MK ones the actual moving switch operating
button has unobtrusive screwdriver slots on its sides by which it can be
levered forwards off clips, revealing the fixing screws.

An alternative which I have seen with metal front plates is that the
whole plate unclips when you lever it forward via the screwdriver slot
at the bottom visible in your photograph.

The whole URL BTW is:

I'd try as wide a flat-blade screwdriver as possible in the slot, and
gently twist ...

The face plate is in two sections on those. The first layer screws on in
the normal way, and then the outer decorate layer clips over. Prise it
off using the screwdriver slot in the side.
