2. Setting up your Dry Cutter
Place a tile on the dr
y cutter and mount the scoring wheel. Secure the
scoring wheel at the de-sir
ed height by turning the handle on the lever.
Note that the slots in the scoring wheel holder are in line with the lever.
Do not use damaged or worn out scoring wheels, this will decrease
the quality of the cut or r
esult in breakage of the tile.
3. Cutting Procedures
Put the tile onto the base plate at the desir
ed position (3) and angle
(5). Note that the glazed side of the tile faces upwards.
Position the scoring wheel at the beginning of the tile and move the
scoring wheel over the tile in one smooth movement.
When cutting very rough tiles it may be necessary to repeat the scoring movement until a continuous gr
oove is made.
Move the cutter into the br
eaking position (4) by pulling the slide tube
on the lever
. Put the br
eaker at the end of the tile near the end stop.
Move the lever down and apply sufficient force to break the tile.
Repetitive Cuts
The Rodia®Dry cutters are supllied with an adjustable tile stop that
allows for repetitive cuts. Simply secure the Cutting Guide at the desired dimension to cut identical tiles.
Cutting larger tiles
In order to avoid breakage of lager tiles, the Rodia®dry cutters are supplied with two pr
oduct supports. These product supports can be hoo-
ked onto either side of the base plate.
Maintenance
Rodia®Dr
y Cutters are designed for minimum maintenance and dura-
bility. For the longevity of your Rodia
®
Dry Cutter and continued smooth
cutting movement simply keep the guiding bars dry and clean from cutting debris. Store the Dry Cutter clean and dry in the original carrying

Scoring Wheels
Scoring Wheels ar
e an integral part of your Manual Tile Cutter. The
Performance of your Manual Tile Cutter depends highly on the quality
of the Scoring Wheels. We recommend you use original Rodia

realizing Precise Cuts time after time.
The use of Rodia
®
