3. Selecting the Scoring Wheel:

Choose the appropriate scoring wheel for your tile material. The 8mm ENDURE wheel is generally suitable for softer ceramic tiles, while the 10mm SILVER wheel is recommended for harder materials like porcelain. Refer to the tile manufacturer's recommendations if available.

Instrucțiuni de operare

1. Marking the Tile:

Measure and mark the desired cut line on the tile using a pencil or marker. Ensure the mark is clear and accurate.

2. Positioning the Tile:

Place the tile on the cutter's base, aligning the marked cut line with the scoring wheel's path. Use the adjustable measuring guide to secure the tile and ensure a straight cut. The tile should be firmly against the stops.

3. Scoring the Tile:

Lower the scoring wheel onto the tile at the edge furthest from you. Apply firm, consistent pressure to the handle and push the scoring wheel along the marked line towards you in a single, continuous motion. A clear, audible score line should be visible across the tile surface. Avoid multiple passes, as this can weaken the tile and result in an uneven break.

4. Breaking the Tile:

Once the tile is scored, position the breaker foot directly over the scored line, typically near the center of the tile. Apply downward pressure to the handle. The "SMART POWER" progressive breaking system will adapt to the tile's hardness, ensuring a clean break. The tile should snap cleanly along the scored line. For very long or hard tiles, it may be beneficial to apply pressure at both ends of the score line sequentially.

5. Angle Cuts:

The TS-43 MAX includes an adjustable swivel square for making angle cuts. Loosen the locking knob, set the desired angle, and tighten the knob. Align the tile accordingly before scoring and breaking.

Întreţinere

1. Curățare:

After each use, clean the tile cutter to remove tile dust and debris. Use a brush or compressed air to clear the guides and base. A damp cloth can be used to wipe down surfaces, ensuring no moisture remains on metal parts.

2. Scoring Wheel Replacement:

Scoring wheels wear out over time and should be replaced when cuts become inconsistent or difficult. To replace, carefully remove the old wheel from its holder and insert the new one, ensuring it is securely seated. Always use genuine RUBI scoring wheels for optimal performance.

3. Lubrifiere:

Periodically apply a light lubricant to the chromed steel guides to ensure smooth operation of the scoring carriage. Avoid excessive lubrication, which can attract dust.

4. Depozitare:

Store the tile cutter in its transport case in a dry, clean environment to protect it from dust, moisture, and impact. This will prolong the life of the tool.
