SOCKET ASSEMBLY & LAMP WIRING GUIDE
Place steel washer, rubber washer & locknut onto end of threaded rod. Insert threaded rod into your lamp base. Slip vase cap, neck, harp base & socket bottom onto threaded rod & tighten finger-tight. Run lamp cord up through threaded pipe as shown in illustration below. Make an electricians' knot to prevent wire from being accidentally pulled loose (see illustration 1 & 2 below right). If necessary, carefully strip 3/4" of insulation from end of lamp cord. If ends are not tinned, twist each section tightly. Wrap the wire with "smooth" insulation clockwise around the brass "hot" terminal screw. Tighten screw. Wrap the wire with "ribbed" insulation clockwise around the silver "neutral" terminal screw. Tighten screw. If using a shell-type socket (below left) press cover securely into socket's base.
