My first electrical plug wiringNew electric drill needed a plug.
I didn't know which wire went where.
Trying different configurations to see which one worked - trial and error stylee - seemed the best course of action.
To save time I decided not to bother replacing the back of the plug between tries.
First attempt, pushes plug into place with palm of hand.
Luckily for me it was an explosive 'push-away' result, rather than a 'grip-tight-and-fry' result.
