Key risks

• Tipping or collapse of folding tables due to incorrect assembly or overloading.
• Finger entrapment in hinges and folding mechanisms.
• Slippage of overlay boards (toppers) on smooth surfaces.
• Drink spills that damage the mat and may cause slips around the area.
• Edges, protruding screws or metal cup holders that may cause minor cuts or snags.
• Small parts (chips, buttons, markers) posing a choking hazard to children.
• Bumps or trips over legs, corners or accessories on the floor during play.
• Electrical risk or overheating in automatic card shufflers or other battery- or mains-powered accessories if used improperly.

Safe use

• Assemble and unfold the table on a firm, level surface; check that the legs and locks are securely fastened.
• Do not sit, stand or lean your body weight on the tabletop; avoid concentrated loads.
• For toppers, use non-slip stoppers or mats and centre the board on the base table.
• Place drinks in cup holders and wipe up spills immediately; avoid placing very hot containers directly on the mat.
• Organise chips and cards on the table to prevent them falling; pick up any item that drops to the floor immediately.
• When folding or unfolding, keep hands away from hinges and pinch points; for heavy tables, carry out the manoeuvre with two people.
• Automatic shufflers: use the type of batteries/cable specified for the product, do not insert objects other than cards, do not cover slots and disconnect when not in use.
• Stop use if you detect loose parts, instability, unusual noises or visible damage.
• If children are present, keep small parts out of their reach and supervise throughout the game.

Storage and maintenance

• Store in a dry, ventilated place, away from moisture and direct sunlight to prevent warping and discolouration of the mat.
• Close and secure folding tables before moving or storing them; use a protective cover if available.
• Do not stack heavy objects on the tabletop or mat; store in a stable position to avoid straining the legs.
• Clean the cloth/felt with a soft brush or dry cloth; for stains, use a slightly damp cloth and dry without excessive rubbing. Avoid abrasive products and excess water.
• Clean chips, cup holders and accessories with a damp cloth and dry completely before storing.
• Periodically check screws, non-slip stoppers, legs and cup holders; retighten or replace worn or damaged parts.
• Remove batteries from accessories if they will not be used for a prolonged period; keep them out of reach of children and avoid short circuits.
• Protect cables and plugs from pulls, kinks or pinching under the legs.

Usage restrictions

• Not suitable for children under 3 years due to small parts; older children should always play under adult supervision.
• Intended primarily for indoor use; avoid exposure to rain, humidity or wind that could move the board or damage the mat.
• Do not use as a seat, step or support for heavy loads.
• Do not move the table with chips, cards or drinks on top; remove accessories before moving it.
• Do not use if screws or stoppers are missing, or if there are cracks, excessive play, or the cloth is lifting.
• Do not place hot, sharp or burning objects on the tabletop or mat.
• Do not modify, drill or add accessories not intended for the product.
• For electrical accessories, do not use with wet hands or near water.
