Part 3 (2/2)
5 Twist exposed strands of each wire tightly to ood conductor, and place each conductor around its proper terure 2)
6 Tighten screws on terminal posts Pull cord until slack is out Lay aside until ready to attach to la)]
7 Re bowl, if there is one
8 Separate theon shell at place marked ”press,” and pull socket froet some slack in lah base of lamp You can splice new cord to the old one and use the latter to ”string” the neire
10 Pass the new cord up through the lamp base and socket cap, tie a simple half-hitch knot in the cord to prevent strain on the terure 3) If there is likely to be any strain on cord, use an Underwriters' knot Twist strands and attach wire in direction in which screw tightens
11 Pull slack out of cord in lamp so that socket rests in socket cap, replace shell and reconnect cap Be sure the fiber insulator is in the shell You'll feel or hear a click when the notches in shell are locked to the projections in the cap
12 Replace bulb, inspect carefully, and test (In floor lah the center post and out under the base, the cord will last longer if it is fastened with tape so it doesn't rub edge of lamp base when lamp is moved)
13 If the lamp has a porcelain socket, simply disconnect the wires at the terminals, remove the old wire and connect the new one

What Did You Learn?
Underline correct answers then discuss in the group (There may be more than one correct answer)
1 The part of the lamp that usually wears out first is (the socket) (the cord) (the plug)
2 La) (frayed cords) (dirty shades or bulb)
3 To unplug a la) firmly and pull
4 Wire in lamp cord usually comes in sizes 16 or 18 Size 16 is the s wire around a tero around in a (clockwise) (counter-clockwise) direction
6 When the switch on a laoes as far as (the wall plug) (the switch)
7 An Underwriters' knot should be used (only when there is roo) (whenever there is likely to be strain on the cord, even if you have to replace the plug with a larger one)
