Safety reminders when installing knob and tube wiring:

1. Apply enough pressure on the gimlet when driving it to the word board. Never
hammer it.
2. Have the auger braced oiled regularly especially the ratchet type.
3. Have your electrician’s knife sharpened enough in order not to nick the wire.
4. Use the right sized screw driver for the right size of screw.
5. Be sure that the conductors in contact with the wiring surface are enclosed in mica
tubing.
6. Be sure you checked your work before testing.
7. Be sure that the safety switch is off before making any connection. Apply tape on all
joints/splices.
8. Do not drive the split knobs completely before the conductors or wires are
run/inserted along the grooves of the knobs.
9. Be sure to test the insulation for short and ground circuit before putting on the power.
