Replacing the power cord on Kapex

[mmorgan101]

Has anyone replaced the power cord on a Kapex?  My rabbit chewed the power cord into and I have ordered a new cord from Festool but not sure what is actually involved in replacing it.

Never done the Kapex myself but many other Festools, it is always very simple, just need a screw driver, probably torx 15. Open the casing where the cord goes in and you'll see the screw terminals for the cord. Unscrew, replace, re-screw and ready.

Here's an exploded view from Ekat:

...And remember to unplug tool first before beginning repair.    [tongue]

I had my opened up to replace the armature. The cord is clearly visible and should be easy to replace. You can figure out disassembly order using the guide in this thread:
