It did at first, I was only using a cheap ceramic and was using way too much force to scribe and break, it doesn't need much force at all. Ul be used to it in no time

First try some cardboard under the tile, also once scored move the tile an inch or two down the cutter before breaking because if you look the solid centre bit of the bed is away from the edge ive had this problem with my 750 mate thats my 2 pence
Update. I forgot to take a picture of the tile, but I have discovered that if I lubricate the scoring wheel when cutting every other tile and put the cardboard underneath - this method actually works.

Thanks Mr Tiler for that, only obstacle now is doing the L shaped cuts without chipping. Will have to get the stone out I guess.

ok you are dealing with a high bake tile using cheap matirails total stress on the tile first you have to take out the stress the best way to do this is to core a 30 mm hole on the courner were your courner meets then scribe back to your core on the out side hole now grind out the shortest line on the inside of your scribe and then snap the long edge then grind out the remaining courner the times have been hard and a lot of tile manafators have cut cost this if the price we are now paying

I also do so, for chipping use http://www.sigmaitalia.com/diamond-tools/diamond-blades

if the material to be cooked wrong, send an email to imola, as I did, you compensate time and equipment worn, google translated
