[Shop-talk] Extra post....

[Pat Horne]

I assume this is the switch. If so, you purchased a 3 way switch. Not a problem, just use the colored (not green) screw & one of the other screws. If the switch works backwards, move the wire to the other screw. You can’t cause a short no matter how you hook it up. 

Peace,
Pat

Embarrassing question here (again): 

I am replacing all the outlets (with GFI) and the light switch in the kitchen.

What is the extra post on the right? (not the green one) What I am replacing only has three: both wires and the ground. 

thanks
