need to be replaced. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.

 Prior to installation or servicing always disconnect the power by turning off the 

circuit breakers to the outlet box and associated wall switch location. If you 
cannot lock the circuit breaker in the off position, securely fasten a prominent 
warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

blades, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert foreign objects in between  
rotating fan blades.
