A couple tips when using wire nuts:
  • strip the wires about a 1/4" more than you need,
  • use a pair of pliers to grab the loose ends of the copper and twist tightly,
  • trim the twisted pair to length needed, and
  • finally install the wire nut.
Give the wire nut a good tug to make sure it is on there good.

Thanks for the write up Dave, I'm sure it will help many!
 
Nice job, as usual, Dave. That DA is better than new and should last a while. Really nice write up.

I'd also like to say that I met Dave while he was out and about looking for the cord. (I helped him with his hard drive virus issue. But that's another thread.) Dave was not willing to just settle with what Lowes had in stock and he made an additional trip to get the right cord. If anyone ever needs anything from Dave they can be rest assured that he always does his best. And he is a real good guy, too.
 
Great instructional write up!
You should buy up all the bad returned Polishers and recycle them.:props:
 
Nice write-up - great detailed instructions and pictures, which I'm sure will help anyone who find themselves in a similar situation of needing to replace the power cord on G110v2.
 
Good job Dave. You did not mention if you cut the replacement cord to 40' feet or not. If you did, add a plug to the cut end and you will have a 10' extension cord. If you are adding a longer cord to a new tool you can add a socket to the removed cord and have an extension cord. If you have never had to look for an extension cord you may ignore my tips. :dblthumb2:
 
This is a great article and I dont even own a G110! Very well written and photographed!
 
Nice write up Dave . Very Detailed and easy for anyone to understand.

Hi Fred, Thanks for the tip on the 10' cord. Actually when I picked up the 2 prong heavy duty plug end to go on the polisher I also picked up a home owner grade 3 prong plug end to do exactly that. There have been many times I needed just about 10' of extension and instead rolled out a 50 footer. It's nice to see you posting again. It seems I haven't seen you around much.
 
Dave, I bought one of these and am going to pick it up tomorrow. Thanks for taking the time to do that amazing write-up.
 
i just re-corded an extra polisher with 14 gauge. My god, that is not a duty i want to have again. The cord strain I found was the hardest part.

A little soapy water can go a long ways to help the new cord slip into the strain reliever. :props:

Trust me, soap did help, but so did some strategic razor blade cutting. The replacement cord i used was significantly thicker thus it put much more pressure in places the thinner cord didnt. But i got it and it works now. New cord has a 3 year warranty so we will see.
 
Over three years since posted and still helping people. Just wanted to say thanks Dave. Worked great. The wiring in mine was a little different which I found interesting.
 
Pulling a thread from DEEP within the grave yard. Many thanks to Dave for this one. I've been using my G110 with zip ties holding the cord in just the right spot. Glad to have a fully functioning 50 footer, in green, back on my polisher for a change.
