No. 675 24" Carpet tile Cutter

SAFETY FIRST - read and save all instructions!

The Crain 24" Carpet Tile Cutter includes a 26" blade designed to cut soft tiles
including carpet tiles, VCT tiles, luxury vinyl tiles, rubber tiles and cork tiles.
Do not use the 26" blade for cutting wood or laminate planks, or ceramic tiles.
A 13" wood cutting blade is available for cutting wood and laminate flooring
planks only (not shingles or wall siding), and is sold separately. Do not use this
cutter for any purpose not described in this manual.
This cutter has a sharp blade. Keep hands away! The blade is lever-activated
and can cause severe cuts or sever fingers or hands. Pay attention to the posi-
tion and motion of the blade in operation and transportation of the cutter.
If the material being cut gets stuck on the blade, remove the stuck material
from the blade using scrap material or other tool. Do not use bare hands! Keep
hands away from the blade at all times. Use of new, clean, sharp blades can
reduce the sticking of materials on the blade.
Scrap materials, dust, and splinters can accumulate around the blade, behind
the blade, or on the bed of the cutter. These can impair the safe operation of
the cutter. Keep these clear at all times by dusting them off using a piece of
scrap material or other tool. Keep hands away from the blade. Wear eye and
ear protection when using this cutter.
