You will need someone to visually see the correct selected mains voltage and fuse ratings to complete this job.

The instructions say to face the line cord area and with the line cord on the left, feel for the slot on the right and pry it up with a small screwdriver to open up the fuse area. then prying from the same side, pry the fuse block straight  out completely. The 6 amp fuses are for 240 vac and the 12 amp fuses for the 120 vac. The fuses are inserted with the springy end toward the rear of the fuse holder when it is reinserted. The fuse holder will have to be rotated 180 degrees vertically depending on the desired mains voltage selected. The correct mains voltage should appear on the right side of the fuse holder block and be visible in the cover window when it is pressed back closed. As you reinsert the fuse holder press the springy ends of the fuses into the block with your fingers so that the block can be started into the fuse holder cavity. The fuse holder is inserted all the way so that it is pressed in flush with the area it is inserted into. Then push close the cover closed.

Greetings,
Recently purchased kpa-500 and need to know how to access fuse block to insert fuse.  Configuration not userfriendly for the blind.  Any directions would be appreciated.  Thanks, Dan
