need help with wiring dimmer

[justin2012]

Im sure this has been gone over before but i can't seem to find what Im looking for.
I have a dimmer switch with two black wires and a green wire. I want to wire it to slow the motor
because the foot switch i have with it starts way to fast to wind pickups.
The plug that goes into the electrical outlet has two prongs and is a two wire cord
if i cut the cord i will have four connections to make and Im not sure how to hook them to the dimmer?

Im new to the forum and pickup winding so any help would be great!
Thanks!

Green is ground.

I knew green is ground but i don't know how to hook them all together
that is a rough drawing of what i have

Neutral goes straight to the motor, Hot gets the dimmer wired into the circuit.

I am not an electrician. Proceed at your own risk.

Hook up the motor that it works.
Now break one of the wires & insert the speed control (series).

Ok thanks for the help!
I will try this later tonight after i get off work.
This is the last thing i needed before i could start winding

I got the dimmer wired up last night and it works great!
Thanks for the help!
