The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
5.Support panels or any oversized 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.

The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
