GENERAL MAINTENANCE
1.
Oil should not be used on the 10552 Brutus 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. For cutters with hex bolts holding
the rails, loosen each hex bolt and slightly rotate the rails. Retighten the hex
bolts when finished.
3.
The only part routinely needing replacement is the carbide scoring wheel.
All other parts are also available.
