This innovative splitter offers fast easy

position, place the brick in the
center of the blades underneath
the Blade Hinge Pin. For accurate
angle cutting, use our optional
Cutting Guide Table (sold sepa-

the brick, adjust the bottom base
spring height by tightening down
both Bottom Base Hex Bolts until
the table height is equal to the bot-
tom blade.

that the top blade is flush with
brick. Push down the handle by
