IMPORTANT
Your new Carat Microcoup 180 Alu has a Super Quiet
Induction Motor for ultra smooth cuts. For best results
allow the blade to do the work, rather than forcing the tile
through the machine. Should the blade stop, simply ease
the tile away and then continue cutting using slightly less
pressure.
