SafETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Always check that the connecting elements and closing parts are firmly
locked before starting.
• Always ensure that your ice skates are fitting snugly. They should not be too
small but must under no circumstances be too big, as you will not be able to
stand securely if the boot is too large.
• Please do not make any modifications to the construction of the product as
this may influence the skate's safety!
• For your own safety, wear appropriate protective gear, e.g. gloves, reflective
clothing, knee and elbow guards and a helmet. These are also available from
HUDORA.
• Always use blade protectors when you are off the ice. They will help protect
the blades' skating properties for a long period of time.
• Please always include the instructions when passing on the product to a third
party!
• Do not use your ice skates once the blades have become blunt or rusty, or if
the rivets on the shoes have come loose or the shoelaces have been torn.
• Warning: Ground blades are sharp and can cause cuts!
• When skating on naturally ice-covered areas, e.g. on frozen lakes, there is a
danger that you could fall through the ice!
GENERaL INfORMaTION ON ICE SKaTING
Starting out is the herdest part ...
... most accidents happen to "beginners" within the first ten minutes. Particular
care should be taken during this stage.
ICE SKaTE CONSTRUCTION
A skate boot is referred to in professional circles as "Ice-complete".Ice skates
are boots with a rigidly-attached blade, the actual ice skate. The plastic shell and
the skate are firmly connected to each other. The skate blade consists of steel of
a hardness of at least 52 HRC at the contact surface. The ices skates are ground
ready for use. Please do not make any modifications to the construction of the
product as this may influence the skate's safety.
All images are examples of the design.
SKaTING TECHNIQUE
• Only use the product to go skating on specifically designated skating areas.
• Please note that the skates are intended for recreational athletes. They are not
designed for competitive sports, ice hockey or figure skating.
• When starting out, keep to the edge of the area and hold on to a suitable
object (fence) or ask somebody to lead you for the first couple of steps.
• Please make sure that you are standing straight on the blades to prevent
twisting your ankles.
• The blades should stand at a right angle to the ice.
• To skate, push forward with the inner edge of one of the blades, held at a
slight angle, and slide over the ice with your weight on the other blade.
• Keep your knees slightly bent while skating and lean for ward slightly with
your upper body.
• Do not look at your feet while skating, but always in the direction in which
you're moving.
• Continue by taking small steps, while shifting your body weight from one foot
to the other and placing your feet at an outward angle.
• To stop, leave both feet on the ice and let yourself skid to a stop. While doing
so, use your arms to keep your balance.
• Beginners are recommended to attend an ice skating course.

MaINTENaNCE aND CaRE

• The shoes should be dried after each use.
• After each use, clean the metal parts of your ice skates with a soft cloth.
• The blades are hollow-ground. From time to time, the blades should be
reground. This service is offered at ice skating rinks and in large sports
stores. Please note that the blade holder must not be adjusted while the blade
is being ground. After grinding, there must be a radius of 5 mm at the end of
the blade. Otherwise, the skate may become unsafe to use.
• If the skates aren't being used for a prolonged period of time, it is recommended
to grease the blades slightly to prevent them from becoming rusty.
• Before each use, check that all fixing elements are fitting tightly.
