3. Grip the tool firmly while cutting and always
be ready and able to manage the cut.
4. Avoid jamming, twisting or pinching the wheel
with the workpiece of otherwise applying
excessive side pressure to the wheel.
CUTTING TILE
Make sure material being cut is secured in a
vise or fixture before attempting to cut.
Turn the tool on and wait for the wheel to reach
full speed. For cuts that extend to the edge of a
tile, cut all the way through edge(s) along your
cut line.
Score the tile first along your cut line, making
multiple passes to progressively cut through
the tile.
This tool does not use wheels designed for
face-grinding. If your cut requires a smooth,
finished edge, use an appropriate tile finishing
tool to refine the tile edge.
PLUNGE OR INTERIOR CUTS
The size and versatility of the Dremel SM20
make it an excellent option for making plunge

FIG. 12
When cutting, work with moderate feed,
adapted to the material being cut. Do not exert
side pressure onto the cutting wheel, tilt or
oscillate the tool.
When cutting profiles and square bar, it is best
to start at the smallest cross section. Always
follow precautions for kickback.
Do not apply side pressure to cutting wheel to
reduce wheel speed. The tool should always
be used so that sparks are directed away from
user.
After each use, remove the wheel and clean
the inside and outside of the guard with
compressed air. Preventive maintenance of
the guard will reduce the probability of an
accident.
