Work Piece and Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit.

or exposing the air hose to possible damage.

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 hazardous objects
(such as utility lines or foreign objects) nearby
that will present a hazard while working.
