In order to secure the power cord, you'll need to install a cord clamp. These come in one and two-piece configurations. Normally, the cord will come with a two-piece clamp that requires assembly. To put this together you will need a pair of pliers and a Phillips screw driver. Insert half of the clamp below the cord and half above the cord. Squeeze the clamp together with the pliers and insert the two screws. Tighten the screws with the screwdriver until it secures the cord.
