Operation
Cutting tiles
Preparing for Operation
When the sawing station is to be used for cut-
ting tiles, the additional PTC 1 kit is to be used.
The stop 15 is supplied as two parts, folded to-
gether.
– Before using for the first time, put the two
parts of the stop 15 together, so that they
cannot be taken apart afterwards.
Lengthway Cuts (see figures F1–F3)
– Loosen the locking knob 3 a few turns.
– Turn the locking lever 10 of the guide rail left-
ward and fold the guide rail 4 upward.
– Place stop 15 centred in the groove of bridge
8 and slide it flush into base unit 1.
– Mark the desired cutting line on the work-
piece.
– Place down the workpiece with the visible
side up, flat against the stop 15.
– Fold the guide rail 4 down and align the
workpiece cutting line to the scale of the
stop 15.
– Press down the guide rail 4 in the area of the
workpiece with your flat hand.
– Tighten the locking knob 3.
– Lock the guide rail 4 with locking lever 10.

Diagonal Cuts (see figure G)
The horizontal mitre angle can be set in the
range from 45° (left side) to 45° (right side).
– Loosen locking knob 12.
– Turn the guide rail 4 left or right until the an-
gle indicator 13 indicates the requested mi-
tre angle.
– Tighten the locking knob 12 again.
For swift and precise adjustment of standard
mitre angles, the guide rail engages at 0° and
45°.

Cuts" on page 22.
Working Advice
Cutting Tiles (see figures H1–H3)
– Insert the tile cutter 14 into the sawing slot
of the guide rail 4 above stop 15.
The arrow on the tile cutter must face you.
– Pull the tile cutter 14 over the complete tile
with uniform pressure.
– Remove the tile cutter 14 from the guide rail
4.
– Turn the locking lever 10 of the guide rail left-
ward and fold the guide rail 4 upward.
– Place the break-off cones 16 on a firm sur-
face.
Place the tile on the break-off cones in such
a manner that the break-off cones are posi-
tioned below the cutting line and at the edg-
es of the tile.
For diagonal cuts, the break-off cones should
be positioned below the cutting line and
somewhat further toward the inside.
– Apply both of your thumb balls at the same
time to the outer sides of the tile until the tile
breaks.
