How to cut tile around an electrical outlet. When you cut tile around an electrical outlet, you should keep a few things in mind. Do not make your cuts so big that the face plate will not cover the entire area cut out of the tile. The ears of the outlet or switch should sit on the tile so that the outlet will be supported by the tile and will not collapse into the electrical box when the screws are tightened. Some outlets, like the ones in this video have the screws for the faceplate near the edges, in this case you should notch out an area for the screw so that screw will not come into contact with the tile when the face plate is attached, preventing you from tightening the screw.
