Sebelum memulakan proses memotong kaca,aspek keselamatan sangat penting.Oleh itu,alat keselamatan mata harus dipakai.Ingat,sebutir kaca yang masuk ke dalam mata boleh merosakkan penglihatan dan mungkin menyebabkan buta.(gambar di bawah menunjukkan sebuah gogle mata)
Sebelum membuat tanda pada kaca,letakkan kepingan kaca di atas sekeping suratkhabar yang telah dilipat untuk memastikan kaca tidak terkena kotoran dan menampung serpihan kaca yang pecah.Kemudian letak sedikit minyak ke pemotong kaca untuk melincirkannya. Anda boleh menggunakan kerosin atau minyak kenderaan. Anda juga boleh menggunakan pembaris untuk mendapatkan garis lurus.(untuk kepingan kaca yang rata).Pastikan anda memegang pemotong dengan cermat supaya ianya tidak tergelincir dari garisan yang ditandakan dan anda dapat mengawal pemotongan dengan baik.Tandakan bahagian permukaan kaca yang halus/licin.Semasa membuat tanda/garisan yang hendak dipotong,roda pemotong mestilah serenjang dengan kaca. Tips!!!(sumber dalam bahasa inggeris) You should hear a distinct scratching noise as you move across the glass. If you don't use enough pressure you won't hear this scratching noise. But, don't use too much pressure or you will cause the glass to throw small chips off the score line and this can dull your cutter. Practice doing a few cuts so that you will become familiar with this sound. Make only one score from the beginning of your movement to the end of your glass. Dont stop or hesitate. Your score should look like a fine hair across your glass. Now, break the glass right after you score it.
Try to run the score line before you actually break the glass. Sometimes while running the score line, the glass will break anyway. To run the line, you can make your hands into fists with your thumbs pointing slightly up. Place the glass between your bent index fingers on the underside of the glass, and your thumbs on the top side of the glass. Have your knuckles almost touching, and begin bending and pulling apart in the same motion. This takes practice, so don't get frustrated. This is only good for pieces that you can get a secure hold on with your hands, and also are straight or have a slightly curved score line. Do this on the beginning and ending sides of your score line. Another way you can run the score line is with the use of running pliers. Running pliers are centered on your score line. The bottom part is placed on the line. As you squeeze the pliers, the glass is forced to bend slightly and break.
