If the left side of the cutting blade does not go completely down to the bottom cutting bar, turn the adjustment
knob to lower the left side of the cutter blade so it is just below the bottom cutting bar.
C. Cutting Tile
1.
To cut tile, place the piece in the cutter, and hold the tile firmly against the guide bar on the right side of the
table. The inch and metric scales are reasonably accurate. If you want a piece of tile approximately 6" long, put
the edge of the tile against the 6" mark. For precise cuts, scribe the tile on the exact location you want to cut,
then position the scribed line under the cutting blade.
2.
For 45° miter cuts, use the miter guide to position your tile at a 45° angle to the blade. The miter guide can be
moved back and forth by loosening the setscrew. Again, for precision cuts, scribe your tile and align the mark
with the cutting blade.
3.
The forward edge of the miter guide can also be used as a "stop gauge" if you are cutting a number of tiles the
same length. Before setting the "stop", measure carefully, or set the stop with a scribed tile.
4.
When doing inlays, or other high precision cutting, scribe your tile carefully, then align your scribe marks under
the cutting blade. Hold the tile firmly as you lower the cutting handle. Again –
WATCH YOUR FINGERS.
