The CodeCheck book has a nice illustration of these clearances in it. I got mine at Borders but have seen them at Home Depot as well, along with the usual online book sources.

You might consider purchasing a National Electrical Code Book from NFPA.org as a good start.

The NEC and UL and product manufactures insist that 12ga wires be wraped around the screw. 14 ga wire can be speed wired by push-in method (UL approved). As a master elec. i don't care for that tiney sheetmetal connection in the devise, esp in heavy loads. AS an Elec. inspector i had to pass because the manufacturer had that product "listed" for that technique.
