General Maintenance - QEP 10214Q Manual De Operación

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). Adjust the cutting guide by
loosening the guide knob (See "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).

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

1. Oil should not be used on the 10214Q QEP 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.
3. The only part routinely needing replacement is the carbide scoring wheel.
