Periodically you will encounter a blown fuse. This occurs when the thin metal strip that runs through the middle of it has melted. When this occurs the fuse needs to be replaced. When replacing make sure that you use a fuse that is rated the same as the existing one. It is also good to do so while on dry ground.

When using your power tools with an extension cord check the power rating of the item as well as the gauge of the extension cord. You could be losing precious power if the cord cannot carry enough to the device. This will lead to poor performance as well as it could damage your tool or device by not giving it to the power to run properly.

When changing a light bulb be sure to check what is rated for the device that it is being put into. Do not try to overload the item by putting in a larger wattage bulb. This will only damage the device and can lead to safety issues down the road. It is OK to go with a smaller wattage, but do not go higher.
