Quoted from canea:Thanks for the info. I'm currently wanting to replace the power cord on my machine since someone broke the grounding pin off the plug and like op the siderails deliver a small shock if you're not wearing shoes.
I went to Home Depot and bought a appliance/tool replacement cord (not an extension cord - one end of this already has the black/white/green wires exposed.) The purchased cord says that it is rated at 15 amps/125 V. The info on the inside of the pin says 8 amps/115 V.
Can I use this cord with the pin or do I need a different one? My knowledge of electricity is a bit lacking in this area!
That cord is ok as you are putting a higher rated amperage cord on than what the pin will draw. But honestly, if the cord was ok, you could buy just a highest quality end (HD and others usually sell varying grades of quality/price) and put it on. That's what I've done. I mention this as the cord you got I believe won't just screw into your cabinet but I could be wrong.
