3. Safety Information

Always prioritize safety when using cutting tools. Failure to follow these safety guidelines may result in injury or damage to the tool or workpiece.

• Wear Eye Protection: Always wear safety glasses or goggles to protect your eyes from flying glass or tile fragments.
• Wear Gloves: Use cut-resistant gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges.
• Stable Work Surface: Ensure your workpiece is placed on a clean, flat, and stable surface.
• Inspect Tool: Before each use, inspect the tool for any damage or loose parts. Do not use if damaged.
• Keep Clear: Keep hands and fingers away from the cutting wheel and breaking jaws during operation.
• Proper Ventilation: Work in a well-ventilated area, especially when cutting materials that may produce dust.
• Not for Tempered Glass: This tool is not suitable for cutting tempered glass, marble, vitrified, or polished tiles. Attempting to cut these materials can damage the tool and cause unpredictable shattering.
• Children and Pets: Keep the tool out of reach of children and pets.

4. Setup

The QWORK 2-in-1 Glass & Tile Cutter comes pre-assembled. Before first use, ensure the cutting wheel is securely installed and the breaking pliers are functioning correctly.

4.1 Blade Installation/Replacement

1. Unscrew the small retaining screw located near the cutting wheel.
2. Carefully remove the old blade.
3. Insert a new tungsten steel blade, ensuring it is properly seated.
4. Secure the blade by tightening the retaining screw. Do not overtighten.

4.2 Preparing the Workpiece

• Clean the surface of the glass or tile to be cut. Remove any dust, dirt, or grease.
• Mark the desired cutting line clearly on the workpiece.
• Place the workpiece on a flat, stable, and clean surface. For glass, a soft cloth or mat can help prevent scratches.

5. Operating Instructions

The QWORK 2-in-1 Glass & Tile Cutter simplifies the cutting process into three main steps: scoring, clamping, and breaking.

5.1 Step 1: Scoring

1. Position the cutting wheel of the tool directly on your marked cutting line.
2. Apply light, consistent pressure to the tool.
3. Push the tool firmly and steadily along the cutting line in a single, continuous motion. You should hear a consistent scoring sound. Do not go over the same line multiple times.

5.2 Step 2: Clamping

1. After scoring, align the breaking pliers (the two blue pressure tips) directly over the scored line. The central screw should be positioned directly above the score.
2. Ensure the workpiece is securely held in place.

5.3 Step 3: Breaking

1. Slowly turn the black T-handle clockwise to apply pressure.
2. Continue turning until the glass or tile cleanly breaks along the scored line.
