Operating Instructions

Basic Operation

The Seesii KP-160B is designed for straightforward tile installation. Follow these steps for optimal results:

Step 2: Position the tile on the mortar and start the vibration. Step 3: Glide the tool across the tile surface to apply vibration evenly, ensuring full mortar contact.

  1. Attach & Lift: Place the suction cup firmly onto the tile surface. Engage the suction mechanism (if applicable, by pressing down or activating a lever) to create a strong vacuum seal. Use the tool's handle to lift and maneuver the tile.
  2. Position & Start: Carefully place the tile onto the prepared mortar bed. Once positioned, press the 'Run Switch' on the tool to activate the vibration.
  3. Glide to Apply Vibration Evenly: Gently glide the vibrator across the entire surface of the tile. The high-frequency vibrations will help settle the tile into the mortar, eliminate air pockets, and ensure complete contact, preventing hollow spots.

Adjusting Vibration Levels

The tool features 12 adjustable speed levels to accommodate different tile types and mortar consistencies.

  • Use the control buttons on the tool's panel to increase or decrease the vibration intensity.
  • The digital LED display will show the current speed gear (1-12).
  • Start with a lower setting for delicate tiles or thinner mortar, and increase as needed for larger, heavier tiles or thicker mortar.

Tile Laying Technique

For best results, ensure the mortar is evenly spread. After placing the tile and activating the vibrator, move the tool slowly and systematically across the tile surface. Pay attention to the edges and corners to ensure full contact. The integrated level bubble helps achieve perfect alignment.
