GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact-resistant
lenses – they are not safety glasses.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
RIP CUT
Place the tile at the front edge against the front
stop. (See "RIP CUT").
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").
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, scor-
ing the tile surface glaze as the handle is pushed
forward (See "SCORING" photo).
It is important to make one continuous motion,
scoring the surface only once per tile. After scor-
ing, 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. Ap-
ply increasing pressure on the handle until the
tile snaps along the score line (See "SNAPPING"
Place the table exten-
sion arms under the
tile for the best possi-
ble support. Adjust the
cutting guide by loos-
ening the guide knob
(See "Slide Rule Guide
Knob") and sliding it

DIAGONAL CUT
The cutting guide can also assist in making diag-
onal cuts. First loosen the Slide Rule guide knob
so it can move side to side to adjust to the size
of the tile you are cutting. Then loosen the knob
on the Angle Cutting guide to allow the tile to
rest against the angle guide, when the tile is po-
sitioned for a diagonal cut. Tighten both knobs.
You are now ready to make the diagonal cut.
MAINTENANCE
1. Oil should not be used on the CAZ24 and
CAZ36 SURTEK tile cutters. Use of oil will cause
eventual gumming and sticking of the movable
parts as the oil combines with dirt and ceramic
tile dust – use a soft dry cloth to clean the rails
after each use.
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.
