Arahan Operasi

This section details the process of scoring and breaking tiles using the POWERTEC PRO Large Format Tile Cutter.

Scoring the Tile

1. Sediakan Jubin: Ensure the tile surface is clean and free of debris. Mark your desired cut line clearly.
2. Align the Scoring Wheel: Position the scoring carriage at the starting edge of the tile. Align the scoring wheel precisely with your marked cut line. The anti-slip bottom strips on the guide rail provide stability.

3. Apply Pressure and Score: Grasp the carriage handle and grip knob firmly. Apply consistent, moderate downward pressure on the scoring carriage. Push the carriage smoothly and steadily along the guide rail in a single, continuous motion from one end of the tile to the other. Avoid stopping or re-scoring the same line.

4. Check the Score Line: A successful score will be a clean, continuous line across the tile surface.

Breaking the Tile

1. Position the Tile Breaker: After scoring, remove the guide rail. Place the tile on a flat, stable surface, ensuring the scored line is directly over a slight elevation or a breaking bar (if available).
2. Apply Pressure with Tile Breaker: Use the included tile breaker plier. Position the jaws of the plier directly over the scored line. Apply firm, even pressure until the tile cleanly separates along the score line.
3. Clean Edges: Carefully handle the broken tile pieces. The edges may be sharp.
