Hi @mark4asp
It does matter.
-For added safety reasons the Active wire is normally a switched connection whilst the Neutral is not, (unless a double pole/single throw type switch is used and then both are switched connections).
+For added safety reasons the Active wire is normally a switched connection whilst the Neutral is generally not, (unless a double pole/single throw type switch is used and then both are switched connections).
Looking at the image of the switch you posted, the Active (brown or red wire in power cord) would connect to terminal 1 (switched connection) and the Neutral (blue or black wire in power cord) would connect to terminal 3, (straight through connection).

-Presumably it originally had a two wire power cord i.e no earth wire (green/yellow or green wire in power cord) as there is no earth terminal on the switch, unless it is somewhere else in the drill, is this correct? If so, it must be a double insulated drill.
