How to Safely use Extension Cords
- Unplug cords when not in use-Extension cords continue to conduct electricity even when nothing is plugged into the outlet.
- Never use a damaged extension cord-Damaged cable jackets can expose you to an uninsulated electrical conductor.
- Buy extension cords with outlet covers whenever possible-Always use covers on any unused outlets.
- Don’t modify the blade shape on extension cord connects-Some extension cords have dissimilar blades on the connectors to assure they are plugged into electrical outlets correctly.
- Don’t force plugs into outlets that don’t fit easily-Older model electrical outlets may not accept the plugs of new extension cords. Replace these older wall outlets.
- Don’t cover extension cords with rugs. Extension cords will become hot when used beyond their rated capacity. This may create a fire hazard.
