It could go either way; in general I prefer to switch the live but as mains is going to a wafer on the bat/mains switch I might choose to switch neutral in this instance (especialy if I was touching something close to the switch).

You are using the manufacturer's sheet then (the other sheet has different reference numbers). That bias voltage is a handy thing to measure (5.6 volts).

Another key voltage is the DL96 anode (91 volts).
