Steps for Wiring a Single-Pole Switch

Tips:

Use more expensive, quality switches that are more durable. Make sure all electrical connections are tight. Twist the wires around the terminals in a clockwise motion so the wire tightens around the screw. Otherwise, the loop of the wire will open when you tighten the screw. Make sure the switch is rated for the amperage of the circuit breaker it is connected to. Use the appropriate electrical tools for the job.
