well-lit. The work area must not allow

the power cord to possible damage. The

with enough extra length to allow free
movement while working.

using a vise or clamps (not included)
to prevent movement while working, if
possible.
4. There must not be objects, such as utility
lines, nearby that will present a hazard
while working.
