What happens here

With the three internal wires exposed, proceed to strip about half an inch of insulation from the end of each individual wire. After stripping, twist the bare copper strands of each wire tightly together to prevent fraying. Next, using needle-nose pliers or a small screwdriver, create a small, circular loop at the end of each twisted wire. These loops will be used to securely fasten the wires around the terminal screws inside the new plug.

Goal: Prepare the individual wires for connection to the new plug terminals.
