  This garment is not intended for use by children or persons with physical, sensory or mental limitations or a lack of experience or knowledge.
This garment can be used by children aged 8 or older and by persons who have physical, sensory or mental limitations or a lack of experience or knowledge if a person responsible for their safety supervises them or has instructed them in the safe operation of
the garment and they understand the associated dangers.
Otherwise, there is a risk of operating errors and injuries.
Supervise children. This will ensure that children do not play with the garment.
Children must not be allowed to clean and perform maintenance on the garment without supervision.
If, whilst using the garment, you suffer the symptoms listed below, take the garment off immediately and consult a doctor. Otherwise, there is a risk of heat exhaustion or heatstroke.
Early signs: Any discomfort; excessive sweating; neck pain; nausea; dizziness or drowsiness
possible symptoms of heat exhaustion/heatstroke:
Nausea and vomiting; throbbing headache; dizziness and drowsiness; absence of perspiration; red, hot and dry skin; muscle weakness or seizures; rapid heartbeat; quick, shallow breathing; behavioural changes such as confusion, disorientation or staggering; unconsciousness.
Do not use the garment if you suffer from conditions that make you susceptible to overheating, or if your body contains a medical implant. Ask your doctor and/ or the manufacturer of the medical implant whether you can use this heated garment.
Switch off the heating function of the garment when in a warm environment. There is a danger of heatstroke.
Do not use the garment to keep infants or helpless, sleeping or unconscious persons or persons with circulatory disorders warm. The wearer must be able to immediately sense the temperature of the garment and his/her own well-being in order to prevent overheating.
The garment is not intended for use in hospitals.
Do not insert pins or other sharp objects into the garment. A damaged heating element or a damaged connector plug cable causes the garment to malfunction and increases the risk of electric shock or fire.
Do not misuse the connector plug cable for anything other than its intended purpose, e.g. do not use it for carrying or pulling the garment or for unplugging the battery. Keep the cable away from oil, sharp objects and moving components. Do not bend the cable. A damaged heating element or a damaged connector plug cable causes the garment to malfunction and increases the risk of electric shock or fire.
The garment is not waterproof. Intrusion of water increases the risk of electric shock. If the garment does get wet, immediately unplug the battery and remove it from the battery adapter.
Do not fold a garment when heated, and do not store any objects on top of it. A damaged heating element or a damaged connector plug cable causes the garment to malfunction and increases the risk of electric shock or fire.
Carefully observe the care and cleaning instructions of the garment. Insufficient care poses a danger of electric shock or fire.
Leave the garment to cool down completely before you store it.
Check for signs of wear or damage on the garment at regular intervals. If such signs are present or if the garment has been used improperly, do not use the garment again and return it to the retailer.
Only have your garment repaired by qualified personnel using only original spare parts. This will ensure that the safety of the garment is maintained.
Do not modify the heated workwear. The heating elements must not be displaced.
Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.
 In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted.
The battery can set alight or explode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical attention should you experience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
If used incorrectly or if the battery is damaged, flammable liquid may be ejected from the battery. Contact with this liquid should be avoided. If contact accidentally occurs, rinse off with water. If the liquid comes into contact with your eyes, seek additional
medical attention.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally.
An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
 When the battery is not in use, keep it away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that could make a connection from one terminal to another.
A short circuit between the battery terminals may cause burns or a fire.
Only use the battery with products from the manufacturer. This is the only way in which you can protect the battery against dangerous overload.
Only charge the batteries using chargers recommended by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery may pose a fire risk when used with a different battery.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and short- circuiting.
When the battery is inserted, protect the garment from heat and, for example, from fire, water, moisture and long periods of direct sunlight. There is a risk of explosion.
CAUTION! Use only those batteries recommended in “Technical Data”. The use of other batteries may cause risk of explosion.
Do not insert the battery into the battery adapter if the release buttons are broken or faulty. The battery may fall out during operation.
 Observe the notes for disposal of the battery.
