Repairing an electric lead?

We have cut through the electric lead of our very new black and decker hedg. I purchased a replacement female end. Knowing where to connect the ground wire is obvious, but there is also a silver and a gold screw fitting. My question is which one gets the white wire and which one gets the black wire? Or doesn't it matter?
