Use Care With Plugs
When removing a plug, never use j an adjustable spanner if it is pos- j sible to avoid it. It is seldom pos- : sible to apply ihe jaws of an ad- *j justable spanner to the hexagon 0/ j the plug body. The natural but mis- ■ taken alternative is to use them on i the gland nut which, in some plugs, j fastens the centre portion of the plug j to the body. The gland nut is easily ■ loosened by such treatment, with the : result that on reassembling the plug j is no longer gaslight and the leakage j of gas Will give rise to overheating, j prt-ignilion and possibly other more j serious troubles. j
