KMINA PRO, COMFORT Manual

INTRODUCTION

KMINA PRO Walking Sticks are designed for people who need extra support when walking. They are made of carbon fibre or lightweight aluminium, which makes them a light support. They have a soft grip finish and a lightweight tip.

HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Do not use this equipment without first reading and understanding these instructions. If needed, contact health care professional, dealer or technical personnel before attempting to use, otherwise injury may occur.
Adjust the height following the next instructions:

1. Stand on a flat surface and let your arm hang down naturally by your side. Set the cane height so the top part of the handle touches the inside part of the wrist.
2. Release the safety locking thread (1) by turning it clockwise once. Press the clip (2) and slide the tube up or down to the appropriate height.
3. To set the height make sure that the pin is correctly placed in the hole and place the safety locking band again.
   When using the cane, grip the handle placing its long part backwards.

WARNINGS

• Walking sticks must be regularly checked for any damage or wear. To avoid this, it is recommended to store the baton in the bag it comes with.
• If the cane is foldable, hold the whole stick when unfolding it, so it does not spring out and cause any damage or surprise to the user or others around.
• If the cane is foldable, keep fingers clear when folding it, so it do not get caught in any way.
• Take extra care when using on slippery surfaces, a walking stick cannot stop you from slipping.
• Do not apply excess weight to the stick and never exceed the indicated maximum weight.
• Walking sticks are solely for use as an aid to walk and they are not designed to bear the total body weight.
• Before using the stick, check if every part is securely connected and fixed. If there is any sign of cracking or bending, the stick should not be used.
• Always ensure the push-button height adjusting pin is correctly positioned and is securely locked in one of the holes before use.
• Ensure the safety locking band is tight when the stick is in use.
