(All answers should be "yes"!)
• Is the right size fuse (15 amps for lighting circuits) in
each socket in the fuse box? Do you use a new fuse --
never a substitute -- after each blow?
• Do you use extension cords within safe limits of
their capacities (500 watts for the most commonly used
type)? If you must use an extension cord to feed an
appliance drawing more power than this, is it of the
heavy duty type?
• Are extension and appliance cords replaced
immediately at the first sign of frayed or cracked
insulation? Do you make sure that cords are never run
under rugs or hooked over nails?
• Are electrical appliances checked periodically to
make sure they are in good operating condition, and are
they repaired or replaced at the first sign of trouble?
• Is your television antenna installed where it cannot
fall across power lines, and is it equipped with a properly
grounded lightning arrestor?
