RIP CUT
Place the tile at the front edge against the front stop.
(See "RIP CUT" on the right). Position the tile so the
line of cut is directly over the scoring line, which is
the line between the left and right pad (See "Scoring
Line" on the right). Place the table extension arms
under the tile for the best possible support. Adjust
the cutting guide by loosening the guide knob (See
"Slide Rule Guide Knob" on the right) and sliding it
left or right to the desired cutting position, and lock
the cutting 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
(See "SCORING" photo below). 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 bar 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
(See "SNAPPING" photo below).
SCORING
DIAGONAL CUT
The cutting guide can also assist in making diagonal
cuts. First loosen the Slide Rule guide knob so it can
move side to side to adjust to the size of the tile you
are cutting. Then loosen the knob on the Angle Cutting
guide to allow the tile to rest against the angle guide,
when the tile is positioned for a diagonal cut. Tighten
both knobs. You are now ready to make the diagonal
cut.
