Diagonal Cuts (see figure B)
The horizontal mitre angle can be set in the
range from 45° (left side) to 45° (right side).
– Loosen locking knob 9.
– Turn the guide rail 5 left or right until the an-
gle indicator 10 indicates the requested mi-
tre angle.
– Tighten the locking knob 9 again.
For swift and precise adjustment of standard
mitre angles, the guide rail engages at 0° and
45°.
– For additional worksteps, see "Lengthway

– Pull the tile cutter 1 over the complete tile
with uniform pressure.
– Remove the tile cutter 1 from the guide rail 5.
– Turn the locking lever 6 of the guide rail left-
ward and fold the guide rail 5 upward.
– Place the break-off cones 3 on a firm surface.
Place the tile on the break-off cones in such
a manner that the break-off cones are posi-
tioned below the cutting line and at the edg-
es of the tile.
For diagonal cuts, the break-off cones should
be positioned below the cutting line and
somewhat further toward the inside.
– Apply both of your thumb balls at the same
time to the outer sides of the tile until the tile
breaks.

For diagonal cuts, position the
break-off cones somewhat further

cutting the tiles
