Cutting Solar Cells Up?

Hello everyone! Can one safely cut up generic silicon solar cells (i.e. radioshacks: RadioShack Official Site - America''s Technology Store) into smaller shapes with a dremel tool? Or would that destroy the cell (i.e. they would stop working) or would it just shatter it to bits from their fragility?
