Claim:
1. A device comprising: a switch coupling member for mechanically manipulating a switch between at least a first switch position and a second switch position, and wherein the switch coupling member includes a fastener that attaches the switch coupling member to the switch, the switch being disposed inside a closed housing containing components that are electrically charged when the switch is in the first position and not electrically charged when the switch is in the second position; an extension member having an external portion that extends outside of the closed housing for access by a user without opening the closed housing and whereby physical manipulation of the external portion of the extension member is mechanically translated to the switch coupling member for mechanically manipulating the switch between at least the first switch position and the second switch position, and wherein the switch includes a switch through hole and the switch coupling member includes a coupling member through hole and the fastener is a bolt that extends through the switch through hole and the coupling through hole.
