RIP CUT
Place the tile at the front edge against the front stop (Fig 1). Position the
tile so the line of cut is directly over the scoring line, which is the line
between the left and right pad (Fig 2). Adjust the cutting guide by
loosening the guide knob (Fig 2) and sliding it left or right to the desired
cutting position, and lock the cutting guide in place.
DIAGONAL CUT
The cutting guide can also assist in diagonal cuts. Push the button and
loosen the angle guide lever on the cutting guide (Fig 3). Move tile into
the desired angle and lock guide in place.

MAKING THE CUT
Place the cutting wheel on the rear edge of the tile. Then slide the wheel
forward by pushing the handle down with medium pressure, scoring the
tile surface glaze as the handle is pushed forward (Fig 4)
.
It is important to
make one continuous motion, scoring the surface only once per tile. After
scoring, and without moving the tile, position the handle so that the
breaker foot is slightly in from the front edge of the tile and front stop.
Apply increasing pressure on the handle until the tile snaps along the
score line (Fig 5)
