The vac is a Flymo EV650. It needed a new switch. I found several but all of these
were either rated 8 amps or not at all, & the plus has a 13 A fuse. So I looked up
the manual online. It says:

" 1 mm2 cable 10 amps" and "it must have a 13 amp fuse".

But surely I must not
use a 13 amp fuse on a 10 amp cable? Please advise. Thank you

EV650 consumes 650W of power = just under 3A. An 8A switch will be working well within its limits.
