6. Operating Instructions
This section details how to operate your Fafeicy Tile Vibrator for effective tile installation.
- Prepare the Tile: Apply the appropriate adhesive to the surface where the tile will be laid, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
- Position the Tile: Carefully place the tile onto the adhesive, aligning it as desired.
- Apply Suction: Place the suction cup of the tile vibrator onto the center of the tile. Press down firmly on the tool to engage the suction cup.
- Engage One-Button Lock: For prolonged use or to maintain suction without continuous hand pressure, press the one-button lock mechanism (refer to Figure 5 for button location).
- Adjust Vibration Frequency: Use the intelligent multi-stage speed regulation buttons on the control panel to select the desired vibration frequency (refer to Figure 5). Start with a lower setting and increase as needed based on tile size and adhesive consistency.
- Vibrate the Tile: Press the power button to start the vibration. Move the vibrator gently across the surface of the tile to evenly distribute the adhesive and remove air bubbles, ensuring a level installation.
- Release Suction: Once the tile is properly set, release the one-button lock (if engaged) and lift the tool from the tile.
