Breaking Main Fuse Seal..

[Guest111]

Will google this but not following

don't bother, you either know it or you dont,lol. trust me you'll never find it on google.

 

[Robert Turnbull]

I can't lol, I'm intrigued now

Sorry for the wrong number, I know I have a lot to learn still that's why I'm here.

The point was you can die changing a light just as easily as messing with a main fuse in the wrong circumstances.

You can die falling off a ladder changing the lamp. It's all a matter of priority and using common sense and, of course, a little experience comes into play.

thats more like it, the thing is there are quite a few of us on here with over 3 times your level of experience,and due to the way things are going with this forum at the minute we are getting tired of the diy brigade coming on here pretending to be sparkies.just think for a minute before you post and it will help you to avoid getting leapt on by a bunch of irate sparkies,the way its going we tend to judge you by your posts not by what you say is your level of experience.

I would add that not only should you think for a minute, but maybe you should check what you've typed before you post it - just to make sure you've not missed-out an "0" here & there.

Mr. Turnbull, I could recomend Wolfbane's excelent book. "Spoling for bagooners".

Is it worth it ? British gas duel fuel £39.99 to fit isolator/upgrade tails , 3 days to 3 weeks fit date thou !

 

[telectrix]

nail hit on head. 3 days to 3 weeks notice to send a man out for less than 1 hour. that might have been acceptable in 1930, but it sure ain't these days. bet if it's a new boiler with £1000 profit, they'd be a bit sharper.

If your not wearing insulated gloves and visor, I wouldn't pull it mate

Why would you not do so

 

[telectrix]

it's a pigging fuse, not a terrorist bomb, FFS.

Now there speaks a man of experience,he who thinks working with electrics is what we as electricians actually do

 

[Fast&Rough]

pull it naked in the rain

 

[telectrix]

pull it naked in the rain

That really made me chuckle... Some people really do need wrapping up in cotton wool. I blame the HSE its turned all the newby sparks into fairys..

i have to admit to 1 case of personal injury pulling a DNO fuse. the bugger was that tight, i tugged like frick, it came out suddenly and i fell backwards on my arse straight onto a 3036 fuse holder pins. bloody painful.
