摘要

Process for removing tiles, especially natural stone tiles or ceramic floor tiles, without damage comprises horizontally guiding a vertically adjustable electric saw along a guide (7) held by base plates (9) and supports (8). The base plates provided on the under side with flexible sealing devices (11) are fixed according to the vacuum principle on the substructure. The supports are fixed above the floor tiles. The circular saw blade is lowered into the joint region to be separated. One or more tiles including the mortar bed are cut in the region of the directly adjacent joint, removed with the mortar bed from the tile covering, and separated from the mortar bed, cleaned and polished. An Independent claim is also included for an electric circular saw for cutting tile joints.
