SELF-MEASURING FLOOR GUIDE:
To save time, the cutter also has a oor guide (P/N 1001-R)
that can be set for self-measuring cuts. To use, lower the
oor guide and set it directly against the edge of the last full
eld tile. NOTE: extend the oor guide far enough to lift the
casters out of any glue on the oor. Place the tile to be cut
upside down in the cutter, and up against the wall. Push
the handle down to make a cut. (See gure 3.)
HOW THE FLOOR GUIDE WORKS:
With the tile guide against the
last eld tile, and the tile slid all
the way against the wall, a cut
piece (dimension"A") should
be equal to the space to be
lled (dimension "B"). (See
gure 4.)

TOP BLADE ADJUSTMENT:
This cutter is factory calibrated to "shear-cut". A properly
set shear-cut ensures an easy and accurate cut.
To set the proper shear-cut in the eld, rst, swing the
handle to an upward position. Next, place a sample tile to
be cut under the top blade of the cutter. Turn the left hand

Example: If the tile to be cut is
1
/8" thick, then the gap on
the left side will be slightly more than
1
/8", and the gap on
the right side should be about
1
/4".
BLADE CHANGING:

removal slot on the left or right hand standard, and remove it.

of the standards. If this is the case, use a at screw driver
and tap the blade at a screw hole to push it out of the slot.
