Operation/Use
• This device is not intended for commercial use. The device is intended for home use. Use the device
indoors only.
• The device is suitable for removing lint that forms on the surface of textiles and fabrics as a result of wear
and tear when textiles rub against each other, or when textiles and the human body rub against each
other.
• Lints are most often formed on the surface of textiles made of synthetic and mainly polyester fibers and on
textiles containing admixtures of these materials.
• In order to avoid damage or deterioration of clothing or textiles, always verify the suitability of using the
device on a small, less important area for wearing.
• The device is not suitable for removing fibers from very thin materials such as silk, microfiber, etc. The
structure of the material may be damaged.
• Do not place the device near heat sources, e.g. heater.
Warning!
• Never use the device to remove hair from parts of the human body.
Risk of serious injury!

11EN
Warning!
• Before any handling of the device (normal use, cleaning, etc.), always make sure that the device is turned
off with the main switch.
• Do not turn on or use the device unless the blade of the rotary knives is properly seated and threaded on
the device.
• Rotary knives move at high speed and are very sharp.
• At the same time, damage to the edge of the knives and the knives themselves may occur.
• Do not use the device if the blade of the rotary knives is damaged (e.g. broken, torn or part of the metal
perforated surface is missing).
• Do not use the device while the lint and fiber residue container is in place. Risk of serious injury!
There is a risk of damage to the device!
• Do not use the lint remover directly on people.
• Do not use the device on damp and wet textiles. Moisture in the fibers of the fabric results in clogging and
soiling of the device and a reduction in the effect of the rotary knives.
• Do not use the device on textiles that are contaminated with solid and hard dirt.
• Do not insert any hard objects (eg metal fibers, wires, etc.) into the holes of the planchet. These objects
can damage or even destroy the planchet and rotary knives.
There is a risk of damage to the device!
• Use the device only on flat and firm surfaces. Do not use the device on soft, uneven mats or on mats with
high and loose fibers.
There is a risk of damage to the device!
There is a risk of fabric damage!

12EN

device in places where it could fall into a sink, bathtub or other container containing water, including a
swimming pool.
• Never overload the device beyond the limits set by the technical parameters!
• Observe the operating mode of the device (time of operation/activity and breaks) according to the
instructions for operation and use.
• Clean the device regularly. Contamination of the device may result in a decrease in operating parameters
and possible subsequent irreversible damage.
• Do not expose the planchet to excessive mechanical pressure or other mechanical stress. Excessive
pressure from solid and hard objects can cause permanent plastic deformation of the surface of the
planchet and disable the device. Risk of serious injury!
There is a risk of damage to the device or other material damage!
• Always put the protective cover on the planchet after using the device. This will prevent possible
contamination or damage to the planchet.
• If the device includes any safety part/component (mechanical, electrical), never disable this part/
component from operation! If the safety part/component is damaged or non-functional, do not use the
device!
• Never underestimate the possible dangers and pay extra attention!!!
