add another white wire to the other two and fasten it to the nickel colored screw on the combo. put the black HOT wire on the brass screw with the other brass screw - don't remove the jumper tab. Put the load black on the other brass screw opposite the other (two) brass screws. the outlet will always br hot, the switch will operate your load.

On my switch has a brass on top and a nickle screw on bottom on one side and two black screws on the other with a green screw at the very bottom.Put the white wire on the nickle screw and the black wires on the other side and copper wire on the green screw?
