To get the most accurate and accurate cuts, there are some rules to keep in mind when working with a tile cutter. First, let's take a look at how to properly work with electric tools.

First, you will need to make accurate markings on the tile itself. This can be done with a simple pencil or marker. After that, the material is placed on the frame of the structure.

Equipment include. If the tool assumes a fluid supply function, then you need to check in advance that it works. Then, gradually, with little effort, the tile material is fed to the cutting disc. When the cutting edge has already entered the tile, you can increase the force slightly.

After the processing is completed, the equipment is turned off. And you will also need to turn off the water supply. In order for the cutting part to serve as long as possible, it is necessary to change the fluid in the reservoir in a timely manner. It is not recommended to use electrical models in extremely humid conditions.

Next, we'll take a look at how to properly operate a manual tile cutter. In this case, the corresponding markings are first applied to the tile material as well. This can be done with a fishing line. After that, it is placed on the bed of the equipment, and this must be done in such a way that the line can exactly coincide with the line of movement of the cutting part.

Then you will need to smoothly move the carriage with the roller. Make sure that the forces you apply are the same along the entire length of the material. After that, the handle of the tool is put into working condition and with one press the tiles are broken into pieces.
