GUIDE FOR A SAFE USE
Garlando freeplay football tables are certified as suitable to be used by children over 3 years of age. The
compliance with the
European Harmonized Rules of Safety EN 71
– as shown by the right of stamping the CE
mark on the items – is a guarantee that these products are not dangerous.
However, to ensure the complete children safety at all times, we recommend that you follow some extra
precautions.
General warnings
With children, always prefer football tables equipped with telescopic safety bars, whose ends
do not protrude from the cabinet. If your football table has protruding bars, teach your
children not to get their face near the protruding parts. If children are very little, it is advisable
that an adult supervise the playing.
Watch that children do not use the holes in the leg panels to climb up the table. Risk for the
child of falling down.
Beware of the balls at all times: because of their diameter they can be easily swallowed by children aged
less than 3, causing risk of suffocating.
Assembly, disassembling, part replacing
Assembly (and, whenever necessary, disassembling and part replacing) should be carried out entirely by adults.
Keep children away during all assembly steps to avoid that they may be fortuitously hit by the table components as
well as preventing them from seizing parts (such as bars) that, if improperly used, could be very dangerous.
The small parts (such as bearing retainers, roller bearings, screws and bolts) not yet assembled may be swallowed
or inhaled: keep them away from children. Effect the assembly correctly and take care not to leave any screw or bolt
loose: if they are tightened properly it will be impossible for a child to take them off.
When using the table
Do not use the football table for other aims than the proper one.
Explain to your children that it is risky to put their hands inside the playing field while a game is being played,
because rods, while moving, may crush their fingers.
Folding the legs, moving and storing the table
The operations of folding the legs and to move the table must always be carried out by
adults. Keep children away at all times. Make sure you do not scrape the table legs on the
floor, when displacing it: risk of scratching the floor. Make sure that the table is leaning
against the wall with an inclination of 15cm ( 6 in), necessary to make it standing stable
Take care that children do not cling to the football table when it is vertical. Risk of the table
falling over and crusching the child.
Use of the protection cover
(optional)
If improperly used, it could cause suffocation. Assembly operations must be carried out by an adult. Always fix it
using the supplied clips to avoid that a child may take it off.
Risks caused by the wear and tear
Regularly effect maintanance, to keep the table in order and safe. Periodically inspect the table wear and tear and
replace any damaged or worn out parts. Do not repair the football table in a rough or inadequate way. For
