5. Setup
Before using the seam setter, ensure the surfaces to be joined are clean, dry, and free of any dust, grease, or moisture. This will ensure optimal suction and prevent slippage.
- Place the two workpieces to be joined in their approximate final positions.
- Position the Seamless Seam Setter across the seam, ensuring each suction cup is fully on a separate workpiece and not bridging the gap.
6. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for effective use of the Seamless Seam Setter:
- Attach Suction Cups: Press the air pump on each suction cup repeatedly until the red line on the pump plunger disappears. This indicates a strong vacuum seal.
- Join Surfaces: Twist the side knobs (seam joining knobs) clockwise to gradually pull the two workpieces together, closing the seam tightly.
- Level Surfaces: Twist the top knobs (leveling knobs) to adjust the height of the workpieces, ensuring they are perfectly level with each other. The maximum height gap adjustment is 45mm, and the maximum tightening gap adjustment is 65mm.
- Verify Alignment: Visually inspect the seam and surface level. Make any final minor adjustments as needed.
- Release Tool: Once the adhesive or sealant has cured sufficiently, press the bleeder valve on each suction cup to release the vacuum. Carefully remove the tool.

7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the suction cups and frame with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure no adhesive or debris remains on the rubber suction pads.
- Inspection: Regularly check the rubber suction cups for cuts, tears, or hardening. Replace damaged rubber rings or air inlet filters as needed using the provided spares.
- Storage: Store the seam setter in its original packaging or a protective case to prevent damage to the suction cups and adjustment mechanisms.

8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Suction cups do not hold | Surface is dirty, wet, or porous; rubber cup is damaged; air pump is faulty. | Clean and dry surfaces thoroughly. Inspect rubber cups for damage and replace if necessary. Ensure the red line on the pump disappears. |
| Seam does not close tightly | Side knobs not tightened sufficiently; workpieces are too far apart. | Ensure suction is firm. Tighten side knobs further. Reposition workpieces closer if initial gap is too wide. |
| Surfaces are not level | Top knobs not adjusted correctly. | Adjust top knobs incrementally until surfaces are level. |
