loss, the user should immediately cease using the device, and return it to
their practitioner. Improper handling (including repetitive high loads) can
cause device malfunction.
The device is weatherproof. Therefore, it cannot be submerged in water
(please refer to the Weatherproof section).
Precautions
Use of a shoe horn is recommended when donning or doffing the foot
cover, to prevent damage to both the device and foot cover.
The user must keep fingers clear of the blades when in use, as a pinch
hazard exists between the blades.

is complete.

a recommended foot cover. The device should not be used without these
accessories.
