Default Wet saw problems

Finally started tiling the bathroom today after what seems like weeks of preparations!

Its only a 1 off job and I bought a wickes 450W wet saw to cut the 400 x 230mm ceramic tiles. I feed the tile through the saw very slowly and ensure it remains parrallel to the blad at all times. However along the edge of the cut there are always a number of small chips in the ceramic. This is fine for internal corners but its useless for external corners due to the light chipping being on show.

Have I just been caught out by having a cheap dubious quality cutter or am I doing something wrong?
