Newbie DA lesson learned this weekend

[Desertnate]

When you step on the extension cord and unplug your DA, be sure to turn it off with the power switch BEFORE plugging it back in.

I didn't and the fine mist of UP all over the driver door of the car was a real pain to clean up.

Funny...but not. Good tip and thanks for sharing. Think we've all done that one once or twice.

Here's a good trick, tie the DA cord around the extension cord and then plug the two together. It will never come undone (unless you pull it from the wall of course).
