How to use
To use the Yato YT-37002, place the tile on the stable base, ensuring it is aligned with the cutting guide. Adjust the angle iron if a diagonal cut is required.

Always ensure the surface is clean and free of debris before beginning the cut.
What to consider before purchase

- Verify that the 14 mm maximum thickness is sufficient for your specific tile type.
- Consider the workspace required to accommodate the full length of the tool.
- Check if the included accessories meet your specific cutting needs.
Usage recommendations
For optimal results, always use a sharp, clean cutting wheel and ensure the tile is placed firmly against the guide. Regularly clean the rails and bearings to maintain smooth operation and extend the lifespan of the tool.
