How to use

Place the tile on a stable surface and align it with the cutter's guide. Adjust the cutting depth to match the tile thickness so that the scoring wheel makes a consistent shallow groove across the tile face. Score the tile in a single steady pass, applying even pressure. After scoring, use the tool's breaking mechanism or apply controlled pressure to snap the tile along the scored line. Inspect the cut edge and, if necessary, smooth any minor roughness with a suitable file or stone.

Usage recommendations

Before cutting, verify tile thickness and adjust the cutting depth accordingly. Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves when scoring and breaking tiles. Test the setting on a scrap tile if available to ensure the desired score depth and snap behavior. For large or irregular cuts, consider complementing this manual cutter with a powered wet saw or specialty tools.
