You can't but you can install a plug on the end of a cord. Just go purchase one and install it. Very simple to do. Black wire goes to copper screw, white wire goes to silver screw, and ground or green wire goes to ground screw. It both wires are brown then connect the wire with the ridges on the outside of the wire to the silver screw as it is the neutral. The wire that is smooth is the black hot wire which connects to the copper screw.

When removing an electrical plug from its socket grasp the electrical cord?
Do not remove any electrical plug by grabbing the wire. This weakens the connection at the plug. ALWAYS grab the plug itself when removing it.
Are there 3 prong to 4 prong adapters for driers?
No, and adapters are not needed. What needs to be done in remove the old three blade dryer plug and install a new four blade cord on the dryer.Dryer plug three to fourInstructions should come with the new cord. Open up the electrical access panel on the back of the dryer. You will see a terminal block with three wires going into it from the plug cord assembly. A red and black and white are now connected to the terminal strip. Look at the position and colours of the existing 3 prong cord and how it is connected. Make a diagram. Coloured wires on the outside terminals white in the center. From the center wire terminal you will see a jumper strap that goes to the frame of the dryer. When installing the four prong plug this jumper is removed completely. The kit should have with it a grounding lug that connects to where the removed grounding strip attached to the frame of the dryer. This is the attachment point for the fourth green ground wire from the new dryer cord assembly.
What is electrical hand tools?
They are tools that require electricity. This may come from using an extension cord to plug the tool into the wall or the tool may use a battery pack.
When you are replacing a male plug on an electric cord. Which screw does the black wire go on?
The black wire goes to the brass colored screw and the white wire goes to the silver screw.
How do you convert an older electric range to a 4 wire plug when there is no bonding strap on the range It now has a 3 wire cord I need to convert it to a 4 wire cord.?
The difference between a 4-wire and a 3-wire is a separate ground and neutral. That being said, all you have to do is connect the ground wire to chassis ground, and the neutral wire directly to the neutral connection. The phase wires are made up the same as the old cord. You must also remove the bonding jumper, but if there isn't one... IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS. If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use an electrician's test meter having metal-tipped probes (not a simple proximity voltage indicator) to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
