how do I take apart the handle on a kenmore model #116?

How do you take apart the handle to a kenmore progressive vacuum model 116 to put the hose back in and to fix the on off switch
Danielle, March 2008
1.The handle has 3 screws - carefully take them out
2. With a flat screw carefully unsnap (located under the hose attachment area to the handle) the two handle parts.
3. With a flat screw carefully begin to separate the two handle parts
4. The top and third part of the handle where the on off switch is located should begin to loosen. Carefully lift the top part up and toward the front to unlock and separate it
5. A fourth and final screw should now be visible - take out the screw and the entire handle should separate
The hose and electrical connections (3) should be visible for repair or inspection
