Hi all i just purchased a touch switch like this one:

The instructions say I need to have an earth cable connected to the switch for it to work. Currently my old classic switch that i want to replace has got an earth cable but it is attached to the metal insert in the wall and not the switch itself. Can I take off the earth cable from the box and connect it to the touch switch without any consequences?
