Read how simple it is-you may want to tear this out of your paper, to jog your memory if a fuse blows. What is a fuse? A ftifce is the "safety valve" of your electric cucuit. It is shaped like a screw plug or a cartridge, and contains a metal strip that melts, breaking the circuity if it is overloaded. When the strip melts, wc say the fuse has "blown out". * (In some new homes, an automatic switch called a "circuit breaker" is used in place of fuses. Service Is restored by snapping a switch after the cause of die trouble has been removed.) What makes a fuse "blow"? /TwF«C]»»ffan causes of blown fuses are defective cords or wires and overloaded circuits. Keep your cords in good condition--avoid broken, frayed or loose cords. Don't connect too many lights or appliances to the same oudet. IMPORTANT: If new fuses blow repeatedly after you have disconnected the appliance, lamp or cord which you believe has caused the trouble, perhaps your wiring is defective. In such cases call your Electrical Contractor. 2. Remove the blown fuse I-oolc for a fi--;.L . , . afiuvm fuse Win^ow °"gap in the box is fastened shut your l!HLe !Sf ,a0dkter ^ ^ 3.
