1. Увод и преглед производаview

The wolfcraft TC 710 PW Tile Cutter is a robust and professional tool designed for precise cutting and breaking of tiles. Developed with a traditional model in mind, it features a heavy, solid construction suitable for demanding tiling projects. Its 10 mm multiplex base plate ensures stability and durability for professional use.

This tile cutter is capable of handling tiles up to 710 mm in length and with a thickness ranging from 3 mm to 14 mm. The smooth cutting action is facilitated by a C-profile guide equipped with six low-maintenance ball bearings and a 20 mm cutting wheel. For breaking scored tiles, a convenient metal wedge extends from the base plate, which can then be lowered back below the wooden base plate level. An integrated angle stop allows for precise and repeatable diagonal cuts.

5. Упутство за употребу

This section details the process for accurately cutting and breaking tiles using your TC 710 PW Tile Cutter.

5.1. Preparing the Tile

• Clean the tile surface to ensure no debris interferes with the cutting wheel.
• Measure and mark the desired cut line on the tile.
• For straight cuts, align the tile with the guide rail, ensuring the marked line is directly under the cutting wheel's path.
• For diagonal cuts, use the adjustable angle stop to secure the tile at the desired angle.

5.2. Scoring the Tile

1. Position the tile firmly against the backstop and guide.
2. Lower the cutting handle so the 20 mm cutting wheel rests on the tile at the edge furthest from you.
3. Apply firm, even pressure to the cutting handle and push it smoothly and consistently towards you in a single pass. Avoid multiple passes, as this can lead to uneven scores and poor breaks.
4. A distinct scoring sound indicates proper engagement of the cutting wheel with the tile surface.

5.3. Breaking the Tile

1. Once the tile is scored, lift the cutting handle slightly.
2. Position the breaking wedge directly over the scored line. The metal wedge should extend from the base plate.
3. Apply downward pressure to the cutting handle. This will engage the breaking wedge, causing the tile to snap cleanly along the scored line.
4. After breaking, lower the flexible breaking wedge back under the level of the wooden base plate.
