GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the tile, glazed side up, against the most forward position of the cutter against
the ruled stop. Gently place the cutting wheel on the rear edge of the tile (FIG. A).
Using firm pressure, push the handle down and forward across the tile (FIG. B). The
wheel will score the tile as it is pushed forward. Make sure to score the tile across the
entire length of the tile. It is important to make this scoring "cut" in one continuous
motion, scoring only once per tile.
2. After scoring, and without moving the tile, position the handle so that the breaker bar
is directly above the tile's front edge at the stop (FIG. C). Apply gentle pressure on the
handle with both hands until the tile snaps along the score line (FIG. D).
NOTES:
1. Oil should not be used on the tile cutter. Use of oil will cause eventual gumming and
sticking of the movable parts as the oil combines with dirt and ceramic tile dust.
2. Wear is normal in the chrome plated rails and can be evenly distributed by occasional
rotation of each of the two rails.
3. The only part routinely needing replacement is the carbide-scoring wheel.
