What gauge?
I don't know. It's a little motor that spins a 4" blade. Couldn't
be more than 30 watts. So I assume it's 14 gauge.
Can you use a smaller gauge?
If I cut the cord off, I can use a smaller wire. .
It's the crappy cheap chinese electrical devices. Cit the cord off
inside and replace with decent zip cord.
Maybe that's the best idea. Thanks.
