Making a straight cut.
1.Mark the desired cut on each tile piece using a grease pencil or washable marker.
2.Lift the Handle (#H), and place the tile on the EVACushion (#W) against the Graduation Ruler (#R) andTry Square (#U).
3.Alignthemarkonthetilewiththedirectionofmovementof the cutting wheel, and position the tile so the cutting wheel willmovealongthemark.
4.Lift the handle until the Cutting Wheel contacts the tile at one edge of the tile. While pulling up, move the handle so the cutting wheel rolls along the tile from edge to edge, scoring thetilealongthemarkedline.
5.After scoring the tile, slide the handle back until the Breaking Part (#K) is centered over the tile, and lower the handle to press the Breaking Part (#K) onto the tile. Be sure that the score is aligned with the center line of the tile cutter, and the breaking part is in approximately the center of the tile, straddling the score.
6.Press the Handle down in a steady pressure until the tile breaks. Remove the broken pieces from the tile cutter.

Using the Graduated Rule to Make Angled Cuts.
1.Lift the Handle. Loosen the Wing Nut (#Q) on the Gradu- ated Ruler (#R). Turn the Graduated Ruler to the desired cutting angle. Read the angle by comparing the markings on the ruler with the arrow marker.

3.Place the tile against the graduated ruler, and proceed to cut
Using the Try Square to Cut Tiles to a Measured Width, and to Make Repeatable Cuts of the Same Width.
1.Loosen the Clamp (#S), and slide the Try Square (#U)
to the desired width of the finished cut tile.You may read the finisheddimensionbycomparingthescalemarkingsonthe Try Square to the arrow on the tool. Retighten the Clamp.
2.Place the tile against the Graduation Ruler, and against the Try Square. Cut the tile in the usual way.You can make repeated cuts of the same size, if desired.
3.You may also mark a tile for a desired width, place it on the
cutter, and adjust the try square against the edge of the tile. Additional tiles may then be cut to the same dimension.
TIP: Do not cut too many tiles to the same size without test installing them in your workplace. Small variations in actual construction of walls, floors, and counter tops which may not be immediately apparent may require you to adjust the cut dimen- sion of tiles as you work.
