• Using the wire strippers, strip the white and black wires of the male and female cords by 2 centimetres. The stripping tolerance is half a centimetre.

• Using the crimpers, crimp the female connector onto the white wire of the male cord. Ensure that no exposed wire lies between the wire insulation and the connector insulation.

• Insert 1 alligator clip insulation into each of the white and black wires of the female cord.

• Using the soldering set, solder the white and black wires of the female cord to the alligator clips.
