How to cut tiles yourself

The first step: positioning

Move the ruler to select the cutting size, hold the operating handle with one hand, pull the knife wheel bit to the back seat, put the tiles flat on the baseboard and align the line of tile cutting with the baseboard beam, and the front end of the tiles should be resting on the baseboard's exclusion part.

Step 2: Scribe the line

Lower the handle so that the knife wheel and the tile surface contact, the handle will be pushed forward gently so that the knife wheel in the surface of the tile cutter a continuous and uniform straight line.

Third step: downward pressure

Lift the operating handle up and pull it back slightly, so that the pressure block falls smoothly on the front of the tiles. Press the handle downward with appropriate force and the tile will break along the scribed line.

Precautions

Whether the scribing line is even, continuous and clear from end to end is the key to cutting tiles well. The cutter wheel is made of a special super hard alloy whose hardness far exceeds the hardness of the tile surface. Therefore, generally speaking, as long as a very small force to hold the handle, gently and smoothly push the knife wheel, you can draw a cutting line on the surface of the tile. In the process of cutting tiles, as long as the force is not on the line, which is the same reason as cutting glass. Excessive force line, not only make the cutting line into jagged, but also will make the knife wheel of the super hardness of the alloy blade chipped, greatly shortening the normal service life of the knife wheel.

2, in addition, you can also cut by hand, first use a metal knife to cut the surface of the tiles in the cutting position of the cutting line, and then, turn over the tiles, the back side up, will be placed on a hard plane angle of the line, the majority of the plane compaction, the small half of the plane overhanging the two hands were placed on the ends of the tiles, and then forcefully break, can be shaped.
