On my Contour 1460 the power cable breaks at the point of entry.
To get at power connectors, switch and speed control :
• Disconnect from power
• Remove two sunken screws either side of bag compartment front panel release push button
• Remove big anodised screw at rear below handle
• Slide handle backwards to remove it
• This exposes two clips which can be levered up to free panel covering power ‘compartment’
