Status: offline 		Looks like two tangs on the A side of your picture; clip onto to one of those and and run the wire thru the switch and then to the engine case or mounting bolt. The switch is normally in open, non conductive position, when you flip it to kill the engine, you are actually completing the electrical circuit to ground.

Not sure which, it there are two tangs/tabs at side A.
Stay away from the B side or you will end up buying a new coil. (Maybe just take it down to the local saw shop and ask which to connect the kill switch to.

Do not cut any wires!
