Workpiece and Work Area Set Up

children or pets to prevent injury and distraction.
• 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.
• There must not be hazardous objects such as utility lines or foreign objects nearby that
will present a hazard while working.
