Bought a cordless grinder, but what way to cut?

[One Day]

But why do you cut against the rotation Mark? If it’s polished doesn’t it chip glaze from underneath?

I've realised with this thread that nobody ever taught me the correct way to use a grinder to cut tiles! It just felt natural the way I do it.
I tried cutting with the blade opposite, so it's cutting onto the glaze rather than underneath it...
I can't see any advantage other than dust is thrown away...

This is what I do, the pencil line is to my right, so I just follow that with the blade cutting in the same direction.

First cut I like to go with the blade rotation pulling along the cut . I haven't really thought about how I hold it

Safest way with two hands - no debris flying upwards towards my face and the dust goes away from me too. Any kickbacks are controllable with ease.

I don't understand why any of you would cut against the rotation of the blade - surely this can only stress the blade and motor.

Maybe bal will invent a way to use a grinder then it will british standard grinder technique
