But the cord is so thick, the only inline switches that will work are

I've been to Home Depot and I've looked online. I've looked on Ace
and Lowe's web pages.

Replace the supplied wire with two-conductor zip cord.

Hmmm.. Maybe so. I don't like idea of opening up a brand new thing,
or of cutting off most of the cord and splicing, but maybe that's what
I should do. . Thanks

Maybe I should shave the cord like Bob suggests and if I do a bad job,
then I can change the cord.


BTW, it also comes with a small ceramiic fuse (like a glass fuse) in a
little compartment in the plug. I wonder why they have that. I
guess US style plugs are used all over north and south America. Does
that mean they think some places don't have normal fusing, or do they
think their fan is likely to short?

Thanks everyone.
