[The astronauts] tether themselves to each other and one connects a tether to the inside of the airlock, a precaution against accidentally floating away when they emerge from the airlock.

Then they disconnect the line between them and the one to the inside of the airlock and emerge into the Shuttle's cargo bay to begin work.
