Before beginning any electrical work, always prioritize safety. Locate your home's circuit breaker panel box and identify the breaker that controls the power to the area where you will be working. Flip the appropriate breaker to the 'OFF' position to cut power to that circuit. Then, use a voltage tester, such as a Klein Tools tester, to confirm that the power is completely off at an existing outlet or switch connected to the same circuit. This ensures there is no live current present, preventing electric shock.
