attempt to hold the workpiece by hand. The abrasive wheel can seize in the
workpiece causing it to spin rapidly. This will cause loss of control of the work-

Workpieces that are too long or tool wide can tip and cause the abrasive wheel
to seize resulting in a sudden kick back motion resulting in damage to the work-
