Instructions for Cutting Tile
1. Adjust the protractor gauge for the proper tile size and place the tile to the most forward position of the
cutter against the stop.
2. Place the cutting wheel on the rear edge of the tile and slide the wheel forward by pushing the handle
down, scoring the tile as the handle is pushed forward. It is important to make this scoring cut in one
continuous motion, scoring only once per tile.
3. After scoring, and without moving the tile, position the handle so that the breaker foot is directly above
the tile’s front edge at the stop. Apply increasing pressure on the handle until the tile snaps along the score
line.
Notes:
1. The 10500, 10600, and 10800 Big Clinker Tile Cutters have an adjustable height (three scoring positions
and one retracted position) wheel which permits easier cutting of up to 3/4’’ thick tiles, and makes cutting
of mosaic possible as the wheel can be moved up to permit the breaker foot to operate at any position
along the rails.
2. Oil should not be used on the 10500, 10600, and 10800 Tile Cutters. Use of oil will cause eventual
gumming and sticking of the movable parts as the oil combines with dirt and ceramic tile dust.
3. Wear is normal in the chrome plated rails and can be evenly distributed by occasional rotation of each of
the two rails. For cutters with hex bolts holding the rails, loosen each hex bolt and slightly rotate the rails.
Retighten the hex bolts when finished.
4. The only part routinely needing replacement is the carbide scoring wheel. All other parts are also
available, if needed.
Height of Cutting Wheel
Adjustable to Four Levels
The height of the cutting wheel can be adjusted to four levels according
to the thickness of the tile by one-touch motion. Therefore, tiles of any
thickness can easily be cut.
Easy Cutting of Mosaic Tile
When cutting mosaic tile, after scoring is completed, the first tile can be
cut as long as the Breaker Bar hits the tile lightly. If the cutting edge is
stuck at the second tile, raise the wheel a little by turning the knob so that
subsequent tiles can easily be cut.
