1. The document outlines a project plan to make an extension cord, including gathering materials, tools, and following procedures.
2. Materials needed include flat cord, a male plug, eyelet wire connectors, and a convenience outlet. Tools include screwdrivers, pliers, and a pocket knife.
3. The procedure involves stripping and twisting wire ends, tying an underwriter's knot on the plug end, and connecting wires to the plug and outlet. Continuity is then tested.

EXTENSION CORD OBJECTIVES: 1. Define Project Plan. 2. Make Project for Extension Cord Making PROJECT PLAN
• A project plan is necessary before
undertaking any project because it serves as • your guide in accomplishing an activity. It will give you an idea what needs to be done, how • much to spend and what procedures to undertake.

Convenience Outlet Tools and Equipment Needed
• 1. Standard/Flat Screw Driver
• 2. Philips Screw Driver • 3. Long Nose Pliers • 4. Side Cutting Pliers • 5. Electrician’s knife/ Pocket knife • 6. Continuity Tester or Multi-tester Procedure:
• 1. Prepare the plan.
• 2. Gather all necessary materials, tools and equipment needed. • 3. Insert cord into the male plug, split the cord wires about 8 centimeters long. • 4. Remove insulation of both wires 1 centimeter long with a pocket knife as if • sharpening a pencil. Be careful not to cut any strand. • 5. Scrape bare wire with the back of the knife until shiny. Twist the wire stands. • 6. Tie the underwriter’s knot. • 7. Make a loop on terminal wires and connect the wires to the screw of the male • plug. The loop should go with the thread clockwise direction. • 8. Split the cord wires at the other end about 4 centimeters long, then follow • procedure no. 4. • 9. Connect the wires to the connectors. • 10. Open the convenience outlet then remove the screw. • 11. Insert the wire connectors to the screws, tighten it and return the cover. • 12. Check the continuity and test the extension cord.
