1 1 | HOW TO SAFEGUARD 1 Electric Service 1 IN YOUR HOME | ■ I Observe These Safety Rules: 1. Never place pennies or slugs behind fuses. (It is positively dangerous and absolutely forbidden by National Fire Insurance Underwriters.) 2. Do not place cords in door jamb. (Squeezing like this breaks the protective covering.) . i| 3. Cords should never be run over radiators or steam pipes. (Insist on approved cords made for use in damp places and where contact with metal is likely to occur.) I 4. Never leave heating appliances connected when not in use. (Fire is frequently caused this way.) [s 5. Never run cords under rugs. (They become worn too quickly). F 1 6. Do not disconnect appliances by pulling on the cord. (This loosens the connections and is a frequent source of trouble.) ' I 7. Cords should never be used as a substitute for permanent and properly installed wiring. [ti 8. Cords should be examined regularly. (Worn-out cords should be replaced immediately to prevent short circuits.) / \ ' D 9. Insist on approved labeled cord with appliances, lamps and cord attachments.
