    • Safety glasses or goggles: Protect your eyes from flying debris, especially when cutting tiles.
    • Dust mask: Prevent inhalation of dust particles generated during the cutting process.
    • Gloves: Wear gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges and potential cuts.
  2. Work in a Well-Ventilated Area:
    • Ensure proper ventilation to minimize the inhalation of dust and fumes. Consider using a dust extraction system if available.
  3. Read and Understand the User Manual:
    • Familiarize yourself with the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines provided in the user manual. Follow the recommended procedures for setup, operation, and maintenance.
  4. Inspect the Tile Cutter:
    • Before use, check the condition of the tile cutter, including the cutting wheel or blade, to ensure it is in good working order. Replace any damaged or worn parts.
  5. Secure the Tile Cutter:
    • Place the tile cutter on a stable and level surface. Ensure it is properly secured or clamped to prevent movement during operation.
  6. Mark the Cutting Line:
    • Use a pencil or marker to mark the cutting line on the tile. This helps guide the cutter, reducing the chances of mistakes and ensuring precision.
  7. Use Proper Technique:
    • Follow the correct cutting technique recommended by the manufacturer. Apply even pressure while scoring the tile, and use a smooth, controlled motion.
  8. Protective Shield:
    • Some tile cutters come with a protective shield or guard. Make sure it is in place to contain any potential debris and enhance safety.

    • Keep your hands away from the cutting path, especially when operating the tile cutter. Use a handle or other gripping devices provided by the tool.
  10. Dispose of Waste Safely:
    • Dispose of tile remnants and waste in a safe manner. Do not leave sharp tile pieces lying around, as they can pose a hazard.
  11. Switch Off When Not in Use:
    • Turn off the tile cutter when not in use, and unplug it if it's an electric-powered tool. This prevents accidental starts and ensures safety during maintenance.
  12. Keep a First Aid Kit Handy:
    • Have a first aid kit nearby in case of minor cuts or injuries. Know the location of the nearest emergency exit or medical assistance, especially in a workshop setting.
