Work Piece 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.
2. Route the power cord along a safe
route to reach 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 work pieces 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.
