directly below the blade.
3. Firmly hold the tile and cut several times (at
least 4) along the mark. After each cut, press
the lever more firmly.
4. Lift the lever when it has reached the front
edge of the tile and moved it backward.
5. Subsequently the break-off unit is lifted.
Repeat along the full width of the tile until the
notch is sufficiently deep.
The cutting movement results from
moving the lever from the back edge of
the tile towards its front, while lightly
pressing the lever.
Wall tiles
(single baked)
Lift the lever and position the break-off unit in the
middle of the tile. Press the lever down and the tile
will break.
Floor tiles
(double-baked):
Sometimes these much harder tiles cannot be cut
in two by means of the break-off unit (K) on the tile
cutting machine.
In these cases after making the notch the tile must
be broken in two by tapping the underside of the
tile with a light hammer along the full length of the
notch. This way the break line will spread through
the tile, and cause the tile to break in two along
the line. By means of the wing nut (Q) the angle of
the stop can be adjusted.
Making holes by means of the (hand) drill
1. Mount the drill attachment including the drill
over the centre of the hole in the base. It
is important that the drill and the blade are
adjusted in such a way that they just touch the
base. This adjustment can be made by means
of the upper two nuts.
Make sure to tighten the nuts after
adjustment.
Place the tile underneath the drill, the glazed
side facing upwards. By squeezing the
grips the tile can accurately be positioned
underneath the drill.
2. Moving the blade away from the centre will
enlarge the diameter of the hole. NB. The
scale on the blade holder indicates the radius
of the hole, i.e. the diameter is twice this
length.
3. By turning the handle clockwise, first a small
hole is drilled and subsequently a larger hole
of the correct size.
4. Do not press the handle while it is turned, this
may cause the tile to break.
5. Maintenance
• The guide rods and the drill attachment do not
require greasing.
• After use remove any dust from the machine
and store it in a dry place. If you expect the
machine will not be used for some time, it is
best to apply a thin coating of oil to the guide
rods and the lever.
Periodical maintenance of the tile cutting
machine prevents unnecessary
problems.
Replacing the knife
If the knife is worn, it can be replaced by a new
model.
This is done as follows:
• Loosen the screw with which the knife is
fastened and remove the knife from the
machine. Replace this knife by a new one and
fasten the screw again.
