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 EVA Cushion
(#W) against the Graduation Ruler (#R) and Try Square (#U).
3. Align the mark on the tile with the direction of movement of
the cutting wheel, and position the tile so the cutting wheel
will move along the mark.
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
the tile along the marked line.
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.
2. When the desired angle has been set, re-tighten the Wing Nut.
3. Place the tile against the graduated ruler, and proceed to cut
as described above. The resulting cut will be at the pre-set angle.
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
finished dimension by comparing the scale markings on the
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. Y ou 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.
