Tip for use:
The ice picks must only be used in their correct
pulling direction. In twisting movements, the
leverage-action of the shaft could bend or break
the pick.
Loosen a pick which is stuck in the ice by
banging the heel of your open hand against the
head of the hammer or scoop (the tool should
never be turned See figure 4). The tube pick, on
the other hand, can easily be freed by a slight
turning movement of the tool (please note:
never bend it upwards or downwards).
Climate for use:
The permanent use temperature of the product
(dry) is from about -30°C to +40°C.
Product life:
ATTENTION: unusual conditions can limit
the product life of this tool to one usage, e.g.
contact with chemicals, extreme temperatures,
saline/acid atmosphere, sharp edges, severe
fall, extreme burden. The product life depends
in large part on the manner and frequency
of its use, together with external influences.
Maximum product life in optimum storage
conditions and without use is 10 years. The
actual product life of the tool terminates when
at least one of the following criteria are met
(see point "End of Use" below) and depends on
a series of different factors: intensity of use,
frequency of use, environmental conditions
during use, competence of user, storage
conditions, maintenance, etc.
End of Use
In the following cases, the equipment should
immediately be removed from active use:
- the equipment fails to pass the check-test
(both before each usage, during use and in
regularly conducted test examinations); if the
tool has been subject to strong, high burdens
(unless perfect and assured use can be
verified by a professional person)
- the history of its use is unknown or
incomplete.
- it has come into contact with chemicals or
electricity.
- you have doubts about the reliability of the
equipment.
- the product is too old (or legal requirements
have changed, norms and technical standards
have been altered, new rules are introduced,
incompatibility with other products is
determined, etc.)
Ice tools, particularly the picks, are ordinarily
subjected to severe strains and must be
changed regularly.
Dispose and destroy the discarded parts
immediately in order to prevent any further use
by others.
Alterations and Repairs:
If original parts of the product are altered
or removed, the safety features can be
compromised. The equipment must not be
altered or fitted with additional parts in any way
which is not expressly recommended by the
manufacturer.
The adjustable picks can be sharpened after
several uses. For both blade and sharp tip, as
well as the teeth, file them down by hand. Go no
further than the indicative marking. See figure 5
For the tube pick, first use sandpaper to remove
the cusp; then sharpen it with a round file. File
down the metal only from the inner side, never
from the outer side. The metal must never be
heated for this purpose. See figure 6
Storage, Transport and Maintenance:
Store your equipment in a dry state in a dry
place protected from daylight at normal
environmental temperatures (-10° to +30°C)
where it is free of any mechanical compression,
pressure or tensile load. Store the equipment
away from chemicals, and away from an acidic
or saline atmosphere. Avoid ongoing vibrations.
Use the protective bag or special storage and
transport containers with non-metallic bottoms
