If there are inquisitive kids in the house, it is advisable to turn the switch
to "off" if there is
nothing plugged into the socket so that if the little darlings poke a metal
object into one of those
inviting little holes, the aforesaid ld won't get a shock that it won't forget
for a good long time.
Of Course, there is nothing to stop our "what will happen if?" budding inventor
from turning the
switch to "on", but you, the responsible adult, has done his/her best.
Probably better than relying on the "off" position of the switch to protect
children, is a plug
guard, which is a simulated plug that fits very tightly into an unused socket.
