workpiece to minimize the risk
of wheel pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under
their own weight. Supports must be
placed under the workpiece near the
line of cut and near the edge of the
workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the
tool. Do not exert side pressure on the
disc.
