When work is hand-held, the grinding machine must have an adjustable rest.
Never grind non-ferrous materials (metals not containing iron) unless the wheel is designed for such use.
Do not grind on the side of the wheel unless it is designed for such use.
Do not stand directly in front of a grinding wheel when you start it. Before you begin grinding, allow the wheel to run at operating speed for at least one minute.
