My wrist strap terminates in a banana plug, which I connect to the
earth ground terminal of my Heathkit lab power supply.

Hello all,
I just ordered a KX-1 lastnight and I have bought a
weller wes51 solder station and cutters which are ESD
safe.
My question is, how do I make myself ESD safe?
In the KX-1 manual it says,
"Wear a conductive wrist strap with a series 1 megohm
resistor."
I have a wrist strap, I can get a 1 megohm resistor,
but what do I connect it to? The PCB board? A wire
going out my window to the ground?
I really don't want to shock any components, so I want
to be very careful about ESD and take the best course
to prevent it.
Thanks all,
-Chris
