HANDLING OF YOUR LIGHTBOARD KITS.
HANDLING YOUR
GLASS
LIGHTBOARD KIT
Y)
TRANSPORTATION
Lightboards made with the GLASS writing canvas can be quite heavy, and it is highly advised that
TWO
people are
present whenever moving or otherwise transporting the LightBoard, either short or long distances.
Lifting should always be done with the legs, and with a straight back, and following proper
ergonomic lifting techniques to avoid injury.
If you are unsure or uncomfortable about lifting objects heavier
50lbs (22kg) [25lbs per
person with two people]
, you should NOT attempt to carry this LightBoard by yourself, and
consult a friend or family member to assist in your place.
Z)
HANDLING
The Glass writing canvas is
FRAGILE
and should be handled with great care and used/placed
securely in an area away from children and/or significant physical activity.
If the Lightboard is dropped, or otherwise struck with significant force, it is highly likely to
shatter and poses a serious risk of injury. The glass will break into large, dangerous pieces and
should be handled with EXTREME caution when cleaning up.
In the event the Glass is broken, you should use
extreme caution
to first: isolate the area in which the glass has
fallen, then attempt to clean the mess up from a safe distance using necessary protective equipment. If necessary
or safety equipment is unavailable, hire a professional to assist in safe cleaning & disposal of the broken glass.
If you do not feel safe or comfortable cleaning the broken glass DO NOT attempt to do it yourself, and consult with
your friends, family and/or a professional first before going any further. Just be sure that the area is well isolated
from pets & people to avoid unnecessary injury if they are unaware of the situation.
