6Foot2 Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 A broken three pin plug came up to us from our Maths Department today: http://i.snag.gy/qd0u2.jpg The picture isn't that good [rubbish photographer] The plastic dummy earth pin has been broken off. Between the live and neutral pins it says: THIS SCREW DOES NOT RELEASE THE LID Having read this I wondered how we were supposed to replace the fuse [should we need to] Unscrewing the screw gives: http://i.snag.gy/GFNyC.jpg So I am a bit confused. Why is the text between the pins there at all? [i have thrown the plug away]
HarryMonkey Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 You change the fuse by flipping out the little fuse carrier with a screwdriver. 1
6Foot2 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Posted January 8, 2013 You change the fuse by flipping out the little fuse carrier with a screwdriver. Good point. However still doesn't tell us why the misleading text is there?
HarryMonkey Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Perhaps they just don't want you digging around inside, being all H+S conscious.
