When using portable machines, ensure that the piece is firmly secured during cutting or rectifying tasks. Do not allow the wheel to be caught during cutting processes. Use the wheel at least in an angle of 30 grades with respect of the work piece during the grinding operation.

Make sure that there are no flammable materials near the machine during cutting and grinding operations.

When working, avoid do too much pressure,  hit the wheel or overheat it.
