I am working inside my home. What do I clip the clamp to, if it is supposed to be some kind of grounding plug, where do I get that?

It just needs to be clamped to anything metal, such as your computer case (unless it's not made from aluminum).

You should just have to put the clamp onto the chassis and you should be all good from what I know.

On the coiled cord is the alligator clip. Pull that straight off and underneath is a "banana" plug. I stuck that into the ground pin hole of an electrical outlet, which should be your house ground.

This is a double grounded tool. No ground pin is required for your extension cord. A 16ga. 50 or 100 ft. cord, should do the trick.

I've used a heavy duty grounded cord. You almost have to, the cord is so short.

The clamp is supposed to be connected to a common ground in the item you are working on. Furthermore you should be using an antistatic wristband or other antistatic device which is also connected to the common ground of the item you are working on. This is not designed to be a floor mat, it is a benchtop mat that lends extra anti static protection to an item which without it would have been placed directly on the bench. The primary focus of anti static protection is to discharge any potential static charge that may build up between an electronic item your are working on and you. The main anti static protection comes from a strap connected to you and the common ground of the ITEM YOUR ARE WORKING ON. Do not confuse the common ground bus of an electronic item with the electrical AC ground. When working on electronics work is mostly done in a powered down state that is disconnected from AC power. Generally to avoid a shock hazard, if you need to power a circuit, it should be done through an isolated power supply. This is product is solely for discharge of unintention static charges that may build up and unwittingly destroy very sensitive semiconductor chips.

This unit has the three prong plug so it would not fit unless you broke off the ground prong. You can do that but the unit is then not grounded which is a safety issue. Also it would not tightly fit into the plug and might easily fall out of the plug. I wouldn't modify the unit. You should see if you can get your home's plug updated.

This is basically just like a grounded outlet. You can plug in anything that you could safely plug into your wall outlet.

You could cut the end off the curly cord if you wanted. There is a ground prong.

Typically they are grounded to the center screw of a nearby (grounded) outlet. In this case, I had to extend the short wire to get it to reach.

The plug that I received had a three-pronged plug (for the plug that goes into the wall). So it had the grounding prong, if that's what you're asking about.

The clamp can be attached to a ground or removed and the plug underneath it, inserted into the ground of an electrical outlet. Additionally, I used an anti-static wrist strap clamped to the mat, so that I was then grounded. You might get away with being on carpet and grounded but I would not chance it. Use the mat (and an anti-static wrist strap) on a table, counter top or work bench where you don't have to stand on carpet, a prime source for static electricity.

So funny :) I said the same thing when I got this. All I did was go to Home Depot and ask for a 3 prong plug that would work with this item. They attached the plug for me right there in the store. Have had this light for a long time and it's still going strong...love it! Keep calm and carry on. Hope this helps.

Standard US Electric Plug. 2 Speeds and a seperate swith to have it occilate or not. Robust clip works great on my bed headboard. Good luck.

I think these switches are doubly insulated so any ground wire from a previous switches can be removed or just pushed back into the box. Ten years ago common household switches didn't have grounding lugs to connect to. The reason that grounding clips areusually there in a switch in case the inside of switch shorted out and connected the case and toggle switch. With a ground wire the switch may complete a circuit to ground and then trip a circuit breaker before becoming a hazard to anyone else.

it would only be the same if the clippy-end were attached to something that is connected to the actual ground, aka "grounded." just clipping it to any piece of metal will only help w/ shock and/or static electricity, which is still good to do, but not as good as getting grounded.

I think you want something different. If I understand the question, you are looking for an adaptor. I have that problem as well in my older house. I also have a lot of adaptors in my outlets.

It's a regular household non grounded 2 prong plug.. I would think you could get a 3 prong grounded adapter for about a dollar at any hardware store(Homedepot Lowes..

I think you might need an adapter. It's a 2 prong plug I believe, but I haven't pulled the plug since we installed it. Works great in our store!
