I am first time using a contactor. I have a 3-phase contactor with me, Need to switch on and off without any load connected. It has two auxiliary terminals A1 and A2, for just to turn on how it should be connected?

you haven't told us the make and model ... we cannot help unless you supply the information

google the datasheet and post a link to it
 
Auxillary contacts are typically not meant to switch the load. They are a set of contacts meant to connect with control circuit wiring.
 
When all else fails read the directions.
