Key specifications

• Type: handheld manual tile cutter for straight scoring and snapping
• Material compatibility: ceramic tiles and similar materials
• Portability: compact, lightweight construction for easy transport
• Operation: manual scoring wheel and breaking mechanism
• Setup: tool-ready without electrical connection or additional accessories

How to use

Place the tile on a stable, flat surface and align the cutting wheel with the desired cutting line. Score the tile by applying steady pressure while drawing the wheel along the marked line in a single continuous motion. After scoring, position the breaking mechanism or apply downward pressure according to the tool’s design to snap the tile along the scored line. For best results, score once with consistent pressure and then break immediately to reduce chipping.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Test the cutter on a spare tile to gauge pressure and scoring depth before working on finished pieces. Maintain the scoring wheel sharpness and clean the tool after use to ensure consistent performance. For tiles thicker than typical ceramic, consult material limits and consider using a power cutter designed for thicker or harder materials.
