Tools Needed

• Dremel Trio

Accessories/Attachments

• TR562 Wall Tile Cutting Bit
• TR800 Straight Edge/Circle Guide Attachment (optional)
• TR820 Compact Depth Guide/Dust Port Adapter

Additional Materials

• Wall tile adhesive

Project Steps

1. Mark the area on the tile that you intend to cut.
2. Adjust the depth of the tool’s foot so that you’re an 1/8 to a 1/4 of an inch beyond the bottom of the tile.
3. Carefully secure the tile on a workbench or other secure surface.
4. Use the TR562 Wall Tile Cutting Bit to cut straight lines that extend to the tile’s edge. Cut in a clockwise direction. If you intend to cut out an area inside the tile to allow the tile to pass over a pipe for example, begin the cut at a 45 degree angle, and then bring the tool to the 90 degree position and plunge your Trio into the tile. Starting the cut at 45 degrees will scratch the glaze on the tile to extend bit life.
5. Dry fit your tile to make sure everything fits flush before applying any adhesives.
6. Once the tile has been fitted to wall, apply adhesive to the wall area. Place tile on wall.
7. Continue these steps for all tiles used in the backsplash.
8. To minimize mess or clean up afterwards, use the TR820 Dust Port Adapter to eliminate dust.

Safety reminder: When working with a Dremel brand tool or any other power tool, always wear eye protection and a dust mask, and read and understand the owner’s manual prior to using.
