How do you cut an electric socket safely?

To safely disconnect or "cut off" an electric socket, follow these steps:

1. Turn off the main power supply from the circuit breaker to avoid any electric shock.

2. Use a voltage tester to confirm there's no electricity in the socket.

3. Unscrew the socket cover and carefully disconnect the wires.

4. Cap the wires using wire nuts or terminal blocks if you're not replacing the socket immediately.

5. Consult a qualified electrician if you're unsure—safety first!

Never attempt to cut or remove a live socket directly. Electricity is dangerous—always double-check the power is off.
