First, turn the Pizzazz on it's top and remove the four screws holding on the base plate.

There are four screws which hold the bottom and top halves together on the Pizzazz located around the curve.

After splitting the Pizzazz, the switch junction will be visible from the top, carefully remove the wiring, noting its placement in relation to the fan. Hold the junction steady while pulling towards the base of the wire connector to remove it.

Here you can see the sides of the guard are marked approximately 1 CM in.

Using your dremel, cut the tab off then making sure to smooth the edges once the tab is cut off.
