    PS if you don't have one already remember to get an RCD - a residual current device - this protects you and your son when you cut through the cable, as working outside means you're more likely to get a serious shock (standing on 'earth') so need better protection. They can normally be found for less than a tenner.

    You MUST put the female half of the plug on the cable that will be plugged into the wall and the other half gets wired to the lawnmower.

    As ailuro2 said!!!

    Also if the mower does not work after you have fitted the connector, change the fuse in the plug as this will almost certainly have blown :)
