NO! IT'S THE OPPOSITE - LIVE GOES TO THE SIDE TERMINAL OF THE FUSE HOLDER!

Stupidity notwithstanding by attempting to replace a fuse while the equipment is plugged in, I'll quote a response from another forum:

"connect the incoming voltage to the side contact. Then, when the user fits the replacement fuse and pushes it into the fuse holder and it makes contact with the spring at the end, the fuse will not be live and he will not get a shock. The live part makes contact with the metal on the inside of the screw-on cover, and that's insulated, so you can't touch it."
