Siemens Switch Disassembly

I just received a piece of equipment with a Siemens 3LD2254-0TK53 mains switch (see attached picture). I can't access the incoming power terminals without removing the switch first, but I don't know how the contact block separates from the switch.

Is there a release tab, or do I push and twist, or something else? I'm sure it's easy, if I only knew the trick

I've dug through the datasheets and manuals online, but don't see any disassembly instructions. Any ideas?

It looks like you need to remove the blue covers to expose the screws.

Um, hit it harder?

The shields like this that I've seen and used just popped off with a little twist and pull. Sometimes the wires liked to help if they were flexed too tightly. Are those blue shields really on there that tight?

I don't recall seeing that red locking lever on mine, but I'll check when I'm at the machine again. Looks promising though. Thanks for the picture, osmanmom
