3.1 การแกะบรรจุภัณฑ์และการตรวจสอบ

Carefully remove the tile cutter from its packaging. Inspect all components for any signs of damage during shipping. Ensure all parts listed in the 'Included Components' section (see Specifications) are present.

3.2 การเตรียมพื้นที่ทำงาน

Place the tile cutter on a flat, stable, and clean surface. The heavy rubber pads on the base provide cutting stability, but a firm foundation is crucial for accurate cuts.

3.3 Extending Side Arm Supports

For cutting large format tiles, extend the four side arm extensions located on the base of the cutter. These arms provide additional support to prevent the tile from tipping during the scoring and breaking process.

4.1 การเตรียมกระเบื้อง

Measure and mark the desired cut line on your ceramic or porcelain tile. Ensure the tile is clean and free of debris.

4.2 Positioning the Tile

Place the tile on the cutter's base, aligning the marked cut line with the scoring wheel. Utilize the metal rip guide to help measure and hold the tile securely in place, ensuring accuracy during the cut. For diagonal cuts, align the corner of the tile with the scoring wheel.

4.3 การให้คะแนนกระเบื้อง

Lower the handle so the scoring wheel makes contact with the tile. Apply firm, consistent pressure and push the handle forward along the dual chrome-plated rail bars. The linear ball bearing slides ensure a smooth and precise score line across the entire tile surface. A single, continuous score is generally recommended for best results.

4.4 การทำลายกระเบื้อง

Once the tile is scored, position the breaking bar directly over the scored line. Apply quick, downward pressure on the handle to snap the tile along the score. The reinforced thick steel base and tile support arms provide stability during this process.

5. การบำรุงรักษา

5.1 การทำความสะอาด

หลังการใช้งานทุกครั้ง ให้เช็ดเครื่องตัดกระเบื้องให้สะอาดด้วยน้ำยาฆ่าเชื้อamp cloth to remove tile dust and debris. Ensure the rail bars are clean to maintain smooth operation. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

5.2 Scoring Wheel Replacement

The 7/8 inch tungsten-carbide scoring wheel is replaceable. If you notice a decrease in cutting performance or chipping of tiles, it may be time to replace the wheel. The cutter is compatible with the QEP 21178 Scoring Wheel (sold separately). Refer to the QEP website or product packaging for specific replacement instructions.

5.3 พื้นที่จัดเก็บ

Store the tile cutter in a dry, clean environment, away from extreme temperatures and moisture. Its narrow 5-1/2 inch width makes it less bulky and easy to store.
