- Use an appropriate guard and PPE (eye protection, gloves, etc.) to maintain safety during cutting.
- Check material compatibility and avoid forcing the wheel through extremely hard or unknown alloys to preserve edge life.
- Let the wheel cool between heavy cuts on thick stock to minimize heat buildup and maintain cutting efficiency.
