an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.

Ensure the clip engages enough clothing so it does not fall off in an emergency situation. Be sure
the string is free of knots and has enough slack for you to workout comfortably with the e-stop key
in place.
