Elevate Your Fitness with Retract-A-Band
Instructions for Use
1. Open Retract-a-Band carefully so as not to damage your new product.
2. Inspect Retract-a-Band for any defects in the components. If defects are detected, please contact Retract-a-Band.com before using.
3. Grip Retract-a-Band by slipping the back of your hand through the nylon strap on each of the Retract-a-Band handles and placing your fingers on the impressions along the top of the locking mechanism.
· Do not let the resistance band touch your hand or fingers, see Note below.
· The nylon strap should fit comfortably over the back of your hand (not the back of your fingers or knuckles).
· The hump-shaped side of the handle, with the magnet, should fit comfortably inside the palm of your hand.
· Rest your thumb comfortably on the top of the handle so you can squeeze it tightly when using Retract-a-Band.
Note: Do not let your fingernails push into the resistance band as this can cause tears.
· To adjust the length of the nylon strap, remove the longer end from its attachment and reattach it to achieve a comfortable length. Once this adjustment is made, you may cut the remaining length to achieve a clean look. Repeat this process with the other Retract-a-Band handle.
*DO NOT USE THE NYLON STRAP AS A HANDLE, but only as a support over the back of your hand.
4. Adjust the Resistance Band Length
· Release the locking mechanism on one or both handles by pulling up firmly on the outer edge where the words “Pull Here To Unlock” are engraved. Avoid placing fingers near locking mechanism hinges during this releasing. The locking mechanism tilts back exposing the opening where the resistance band enters the handle.
· To lengthen, pull the resistance band out of the handle to the desired length using your hand on the opposite handle or with your opposite hand directly on the resistance band.
Note: Make sure that when pulling the resistance band out of the handle, the opening on the handle is facing the direction from which you are pulling.
· To shorten, allow the resistance band to retract back into the handle to the desired length.
Note: Make sure that when allowing the resistance band to retract into the handle, the opening on the handle is facing the direction from which you are releasing.
· When the resistance band is at the desired length, squeeze the handle/locking mechanism firmly where “Push Here To Lock” is engraved until you hear it click. The resistance band is locked in place and safe to use.
5. To Use Retract-a-Band, hold the handles firmly while pulling one or both handles away from the other. Always squeeze the handles/locking mechanism firmly where “Squeeze Here with Fingers” is engraved.
CAUTION: Never let go of the Retract-a-Band handles when the resistance band is taut! Let go of the handles only when the resistance band is slacked.
6. If the locking mechanism unlocks, while using Retract-a-Band, squeeze the handle/locking mechanism firmly where “Squeeze Here with Fingers” is engraved until you hear it click. The resistance band is locked in place and safe to use.
7. Use the Magnets in the handles as an easy and convenient way to store and carry Retract-a-Band.
· Retract the resistance band fully back into the handles on BOTH sides.
· Align the magnets (even through the straps) and the handles will snap together firmly. You can pull them apart when you are ready to exercise.
