HOW
TO ADJUST AND
USE
YOUR
NEW
KNEE
KICKER
Your new Knee
Kicker
is made of the
finest
U. S.
materials
available,
combined
with the most
modern fabrication
techniques.
Under
normal
use,
the
Kicker should
last
for
ydars;
however,
intelligent
use
of the tool
is required on
the
part
ol
the
installer
to avoid
knee irritation
or other
physical
inlury. He is
hereby
advised
to use
the
Knee Kicker
for
light
carpet stretching only. Since
hard rmpact forces
can be
injurious
to the
rnstaller,
tool, and the carpet,
we
hereby advise the
installer
to use the
Kicker
only for light
duty
work.
ln
those
cases
which
require
more than
light kicking,
one of the
Roberts
power
stretchers
is recommended.
Due to our
lack
of control of the
many installation
conditions and techniques
used
in
the
field, ROBERTS will
not
be
held responsible for injury
to anyone
or
damage to
carpeting
or
any other object,
resulting
through use
of the
Knee
Kicker
regardless
of
its
age or condition
or the
manner in
which it is used.
