Use it outside.
I would measure for your cuts and mark them, then take them outside or to the garage to do the actual cutting. Most tile saws are wet saws and that keeps the dust down. If you decide to do it indoors, make sure your air conditioner is turned off as it will spread the dust throughout the house, as well as fill your air filters up and clog them. Good luck.
Some painters who did some work for us built a mini "room" out of plastic drop cloths by hanging them from the ceiling using painters tape and spreading it on the floor where they were working. When they were done, there was no tape residue and very little dust.
