Repairing Lamp Plugs

Before you begin be sure the lamp is disconnected from the wall plug.

1. Cut off the old plug plus 1 inch of cord.

2. Split the insulation 2 inches to separate wires.

3. Strip insulation from 1/2 inch of each tip, then scrape wire until bright (without nicking it).

4. Tie an underwriter's knot and pull wire back into plug.

5. Form a loop on each wire so it curls clockwise around its terminal. Tighten terminals to hold wires securely. Put insulation disc over prongs.
