 * Using the tin snips, cut the extension cord such that the male cord is 2 meters in length. The cutting tolerance is 20 centimetres.


 * Using the tin snips, strip the loose sleeves of the male and female cords such that 30 centimetres of insulated wires are unsleeved. The stripping tolerance is 5 centimetres.


 * Using the tin snips, cut the green wire of the male and female cords such that none or little of the green wire is visible. The cutting tolerance is 3 centimetres.


 * 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.


 * Slide the inserted insulation pieces over the alligator clip handles.
