Default Switching GFCI devices

What brand and model number GFCI?


1) I picket it up at a BIG BOX hardware store (Lowe's)

2) Brand name seems to be "Cooper Wiring Devices." VGFS15V-M-L

3) Made in China (Red China, I suppose)

4) The device itself isn't marked with a model number, etc. (I guess it's
marketed thru several different companies.)

Hi:

Because of a specific problem, I picked up a combination SPST switch and
GFCI single outlet with a "load" connection.

Anyway, the instructions clearly say that one should NOT use the switch
to control the input to the GFCI.

Why should that be a problem?
