T-Blade T‘blade Super Series Operating Instructions

Operating instructions
Thank you very much for choosing the revolutionary t'blade skate system. This system which was developped and produced in
Germany stands for higher quality and special fun on the ice. Even beginners can profit from the outstanding running charac-
teristics of this skate system in such a way, that mobility and safety are significantly enhanced during skating. Please note the
following hints regarding your t'blade skate system.
Instructions for use
 t'blade ice skates must be exclusively used on natural or artificial ice surfaces. We advise you to use appropriate skateguards when walk-
ing with the skates outside the ice.
 Ice skates equipped with t'blade system have interchangeable runners and thus always a ready-to-use running surface. The blades may
not be sharpened for safety related reasons. The interchangeable runners are to be replaced as soon as the edges are worn or damaged.
Attention: Risk of injury! The runners are extremely sharp.
step onto the ice.
 Before putting on your ice skates, make sure that both runners are correctly installed and all bolts holding the stabilizers are properly
tightened (refer to chapter: replacing the runners).
 You should never walk on your ice skates without having correctly installed runners on them, otherwise the holder can be irreparably
damaged.
 Before putting on your ice skates, loosen the lacing just enough so that the tongue of the boot can be pulled forward and the foot can
easily slide into the boot.
 Start lacing from the lowest part of the boot, then lace all the way up to the top until the foot is held firmly in place in the boot. At the
ankle area the laces must be done firmly to give enough support to the ankle.
 When you take off your skates, take the insoles of the boots and leave them to air, so that the boots can dry also on the inside. Keep your
ice skates in a dry place to protect them from moisture.
Replacing the Runners (interchangeable blades)
Note: For safety reasons, keep the special t'blade bolts out of reach of children under the age of 6 years.
1. Loosen and unscrew the front- or the rear bolt holding the stabilizer in place completely with your t'blade screwdriver without taking the
stabilizer out of its socket. Ensure the t'blade screwdriver ist correctly positioned in the screws.
2. Now, use the screwdriver to push the loosened bolt back into the stabilizer to press the nut on the other side out of its fitting . Repeat the
same procedure with the other bolts.
3. Remove both stabilizers and take out the worn runner from the holder laterally.
4. Insert the new runner into the holder making sure the type code is located at the rear of the holder. After inserting the new runner, check
that the holes of the holder coincide with the holes of the runner.
5. Place the stabilizer with the nuts in its socket first and then push the nuts fully into the openings.
6. Now the runner is steadily in place already and it is easy to put the stabilizer holding the screws in its place. Now tighten all screws starting
from the front or from the rear. Again, ensure the t'blade screwdriver ist correctly positioned in the screws .
7. Note the following: When securing the stabilizers, using your t'blade screwdriver, tighten the bolts until both stabilizers fit snugly against
the holder. Now, using your t'blade screwdriver, continue the tightening process of the bolts in 1/4 turns to achieve an optimum tightening
being careful to not overtighten them to extend their service life.
8. The time required for replacing the runners can be considerably shortened by using a cordless screwdriver, nevertheless it presupposes that
you have the special bit-inserts (available from your t'blade dealer).
9. The tightening torque of the screws (limited to max. 1,5 Nm), guarantees a correct tightening as well as multiple use of the plastic nuts.
10. t'blade does not assume any warranty (whatsoever), when non genuine parts, not produced by t'blade such as runners /holder/stabilizers
and screws are used, or if the plastic nuts are re-used more than 3 times, viz. contrary to the instructions for use.
T'blade skate guards are recommended and should be removed just before you
