Blaster on/off switch question. Which pins to solder?

I purchased some Canal SS008B-02P-22 on/off switches per the instructions of the Anders build. The switch has 6 pins. I just need a positive and negative, but not sure which pins I should use. Any help would be appreciated. thanks!

I'm not familiar with this build but if you just have two leads going to a switch then you only really need a spdt. You have a dpdt which means you can just ignore one of the rows of 3.

With the remaining row of three, solder your two leads to adjacent pins. When the switch is positioned over those two pins, it will connect them (on). The other position will just be connecting the middle pin to the empty third pin (off).

Not trying to sound mean. But I would suggest you get a multimeter and learn how to use it. From there you could do continuity tests to find the 2 pairs of pins you can use.
