Turn off the main circuit for the room in which you are wiring the combination switch and outlet on the circuit panel.

Pull out the switch from the electrical outlet and remove the wiring from the switch. There will be a spliced neutral white wire, a black hot wire and a green ground wire.

Attach the black hot wire from the main power to the brass screw on the combination switch and outlet with the screwdriver.

Attach the black wire for the light or appliance, to be turned on and off with the switch, to one of the screw terminals on the opposite side of the combination outlet and switch receptacle.

Attach the spliced neutral white wire to the silver screw on the combination switch and outlet.

Place the combination switch and outlet back into the electrical box and secure it by using the screws.
