Step 5Wire the switch enclosure
Cut the electrical cord jacket back a few centimeters at one end.
Insert the cord through the hole you drilled previously. If you cut the jacket at an angle it will make inserting the cord easier.
Strip about 5mm of insulation off of each wire end. Pre-tin the wire ends and switch terminals with solder. Then solder the wires to the switch terminals as shown in the images and schematic.
Once you are satisfied that you have good solder joints and no stray strands of wire that could potentially cause a short, screw the lid onto the enclosure.

Instead of tinning the ends of the wire, all you would need to do is get a few quick connects and crimp them onto the wire. Then connection would be easier if you aren't too sure of yourself in using a soldering iron.
