Main risks

• Blows and crush injuries to feet, hands and forearms from accidental drops or uncontrolled swings.
• Back, shoulder and wrist injuries due to incorrect technique or choosing a weight that is too heavy.
• Slips or loss of grip caused by sweaty hands or wet/smooth handles.
• Damage to the floor and nearby objects; risk to other people, children and pets in confined spaces.
• Pinching or chafing between the handle and forearm during certain movements.
• Cuts or snags from burrs, cracks or deteriorated coatings.
• Fatigue, dizziness or cramp due to overexertion or insufficient rest.

Safe use

• Choose a weight you can control with stable technique and progress gradually.
• Warm up before training and start with basic, controlled movements.
• Ensure a clear area around you and overhead to avoid collisions.
• Work on a firm, level surface and, if needed, with floor protection.
• Keep your grip dry and the handle clean; wipe sweat from your hands and the kettlebell with a towel.
• Control the movement at all times; avoid abrupt swings and do not release the weight.
• Maintain a neutral spine and avoid locking your elbows and knees.
• If the model is adjustable, check that the fasteners and pins are correctly locked before each set.
• Stop the exercise if you experience sharp pain, dizziness, tingling or loss of grip.

Storage and maintenance

• Store the weights on a low, stable surface and out of walkways to prevent falls.
• Protect the floor with suitable bases or racks and avoid unstable stacking.
• Dry and clean the handle and body after use to remove sweat and dust; avoid harsh solvents.
• Regularly inspect the handle and surface for cracks, looseness, sharp edges or flaking coating. Do not use the product if you detect any damage.
• Keep the weights away from extreme humidity and heat sources.
• On adjustable models, check the condition of screws/pins and replace them if worn; store with the mechanisms locked.

Usage restrictions

• They are not toys: keep them out of the reach of children and pets; supervise if children are nearby during training.
• Do not use the weights under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or if you are excessively fatigued.
• Do not perform overhead lifts without solid technique or if the environment does not provide sufficient height and space.
• Do not train on wet or unstable surfaces, or next to glass, appliances or fragile furniture.
• Do not wear sandals or open footwear; use closed-toe footwear with good sole grip.
• If you have recent injuries, joint pain, balance problems or are pregnant, avoid heavy loads and explosive movements; consider seeking guidance from a professional before resuming or starting training.
