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.

clamps (not included) to prevent movement
while working. A workpiece that hangs
over the edge of the Work Table 5 inches or

nearby that will present a hazard while working.
