STRAIGHT CUTTING
•
First, thread the handle into the Slide housing as indicated
in the illustration opposite, and tighten.
•
Place the tile on the work table, with the line to be scored exactly
in line with the zero mark on the scale. A guide plate is provided
to ensure the tile is held in a square position. (Ensure the angle
gauge (Model TCM430) is set to zero degrees). Adjust the position
of the guide to accommodate the tile and hold the tile firmly in
place with the left hand, as shown.
•
Raise the handle and draw the slide back, past the edge of the
tile, then lower the handle so that the tungsten carbide scoring
wheel comes into contact with the leading edge of the tile.
•
Apply a firm pressure (not too heavily) down on to the handle
whilst pushing forward, smoothly and evenly, in the direction of
the arrow, so that the tile is scored along its complete length.
•
Raise the handle and reposition the slide so that the breaker
bars are approximately half way along the tile. DO NOT MOVE
THE TILE
•
Pressing down on the handle again will cause the tile to break.
NOTE: It is necessary to score the tile ONCE ONLY.
MODEL TCM430 is provided with an angle gauge so that the tile may be secured at any angle for cutting in a straight line. Simply
adjust the angle gauge to the required angle and place the tile so that it is held firmly against the angle gauge guide plate
WARNING! ALWAYS wear protective eye goggles when using the Tile Cutter
