General Maintenance - QEP 10220Q Manual De Operación

RIP CUT
Place the tile at the front edge against the front
stop. (See "RIP CUT" on the right). Position the
tile so the line of cut is directly over the scoring
line, which is the line between the left and right
pad (See "Scoring Line" on the right). Adjust the
cutting guide by loosening the guide knob (See
"Guide Knob" on the right) and sliding it left or
right to the desired cutting position, and lock the
cutting guide in place.
MAKING THE CUT
Place the cutting wheel on the rear edge of the
tile. Then slide the wheel forward by pushing
the handle down with medium pressure, scoring
the tile surface glaze as the handle is pushed
forward (See "SCORING" photo below). It is
important to make one continuous motion,
scoring the surface only once per tile. After
scoring, and without moving the tile, position
the handle so that the breaker bar is slightly
in from the front edge of the tile and front
stop. Apply increasing pressure on the handle
until the tile snaps along the score line (See
"SNAPPING" photo below).

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

1. Oil should not be used on the 10220Q QEP Tile Cutter. Use of oil will cause eventual
gumming and sticking of the movable parts as the oil combines with dirt and
ceramic tile dust.
2. Wear is normal in the chrome plated rails and can be evenly distributed by
occasional rotation of each of the two rails.
3. The only part routinely needing replacement is the carbide scoring wheel.
