Unplug the power cord. Slip the strap around your wrist and clip
the alagator clip to the chassis ground of the machine you are working on
(i.e. some likely looking metal part of the frame). If you really want to
be paranoid (I am) get one of those fancy 3M static kits. It comes with a
conductive mat which you lay out on the work area, a cord to go from the
mat to a good ground, and another cord to go to the strap on your wrist.
