Workpiece and Work area Set up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well
lit. The work area must not allow access by
children or pets to prevent distraction and injury.

the work area without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement while working.
3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be objects, such as utility lines,
nearby that will present a hazard while working.
