If he can flick it off then it's a circuit breaker, not a fuse. Fuses have to be pulled, and it's a real PITA.

Thanks, I changed it. I wasn't sure, what the correct English word is...

I would have never guessed that you're not a native English speaker from your writing. Neat!

A fuse and a circuit breaker perform the same function, but a fuse blows out and has to be replaced, whereas a circuit breaker can just be flipped back on. Fuses haven't been used in household wiring for a long time now, but they're still used in cars, and for portable things like Christmas lights.
