enlarger timer help.

Bit of help Ladies and Gents please. I'm new to darkroom processing and today picked up an old Hauck electric enlarger timer,cheap. I'm assuming that the usual setup is to plug the enlarger into the timer,problem with this is it has a different plug than my enlarger

So what are my options,can I just buy a plug to fit the timer and change the connection on the enlarger,The enlarger is a Vivitar 356 btw, it's transformer connection is pic 1, the timer connection(pic 2)looks like the type of plug used for 110 machines,although it plugs into the mains with a normal plug, the timer itself,(pic 3) and the enlarger connection (pic 4). Probably a long shot seeing as it's old,I can still use it anyway without connecting but it would good if I could.

BTW, I'm assuming the 'normal' way of connecting a timer is,enlarging to transformer,transformer to timer,timer to power supply? As I said,I'm new to this. Any help appreciated,sorry if it's confusing.

I have done this with other enlargers and it worked fine.
