How to use

Position the tile on a stable surface and mark the area to be removed or shaped. Grip the RUBI HIT-1200 by the handles with the cutting jaws aligned to the marked line. Apply steady pressure and nibble small portions of the tile edge progressively until the desired shape or cut is achieved. Work slowly near corners and curves to maintain control and avoid excessive stress on the tile. After use, clean any debris from the jaws and store the nipper in the carry bag provided.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate eye protection and gloves when cutting tiles. Test nibbling on a scrap piece to determine the best angle and pressure for the tile material. For long straight cuts or very hard porcelain, combine nibbling with scoring and snapping methods as required. Keep the jaws clean and inspect for wear; replace the tool when cutting performance degrades.
