Ensure you are using a compatible cable gauge that meets your regional electrical safety standards. Always strip the insulation precisely to ensure a secure fit within the terminals. Once wired, ensure the internal strain relief is tightened properly to prevent the cord from pulling out.

Periodically check that the screws remain tight and that there are no signs of discoloration on the faceplate.
