1. Cut the outlet end of the cord off

2. Strip the sheathing away from the inside wires

3. Strip and twist the inside wires

4. Thread both cords into the compression fittings and into the conduit box

5. Twist all like colors together (it is usually a god ides to get the exact same manufacturer / style of extension cords, as some may use different colors)

6. To make this step very easy, plug one of the cords into the outlet that is going in the box, (make sure the other plug isn't touching anything conductive), and use a multimeter to match the wires to the screw then attach. (You may want to take this time to make sure that the wires aren't conductive to each other as well)
