Bedienungsanleitung

Befolgen Sie diese Schritte für ein effektives und sicheres Fliesenschneiden:

1. Preparing the Tile

1. Messen und markieren: Accurately measure the tile and mark the desired cut line with a pencil or marker.
2. Positionieren Sie die Fliese: Place the tile on the cutter's bed, aligning the marked cut line with the scoring line indicator on the machine. Use the adjustable measuring bar to ensure precise alignment.
3. Schnittstärke anpassen: Use the cutting thickness adjustment mechanism to set the appropriate depth for your tile (0-19 mm). This ensures optimal scoring pressure.

2. Scoring the Tile

1. Position Scoring Unit: Bring the scoring unit to the edge of the tile furthest from you.
2. Druck ausüben: Firmly grasp the NEX handle. Apply consistent, moderate downward pressure.
3. Werten Sie das Spielfeld: Push the scoring unit smoothly and steadily across the tile in a single, continuous motion towards you. A distinct scoring sound should be heard. Avoid multiple passes, as this can lead to a rougher edge.

3. Breaking the Tile

1. Positionsbrechender Fuß: Once the tile is scored, position the rotating breaking foot directly over the scored line, typically near the edge of the tile closest to you.
2. Apply Breaking Pressure: Apply quick, firm, and even downward pressure on the NEX handle. The tile should snap cleanly along the scored line.
3. Zugeschnittene Teile entfernen: Carefully remove the two tile pieces. Be mindful of sharp edges.
