Safety Instructions 

Safe Usage Guidelines
Proper Use

Use the bag, backpack, or sack exclusively for its intended purpose. Depending on the type of product, ensure that you select the appropriate bag for carrying items of a specific weight and size.
Always carry bags and backpacks according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, avoiding overloading, which may lead to damage or improper weight distribution.
Protection Against Damage

Avoid contact with sharp objects that could cut or damage the material of the bag, backpack, or sack.
Do not expose the bag to fire or hot surfaces to prevent damage to the material or the potential explosion of synthetic materials used in its construction.
Ensure that zippers, buckles, handles, and seams are properly secured and functioning. If any part starts to malfunction, promptly repair or replace it.
Regular Checks Before Use
Condition Check
Inspect the bag or backpack before each use. Pay special attention to:
Seams and Material: Ensure that seams are intact and that the material is free of cracks or damage.
Zippers: Check that the zippers operate smoothly and are not jammed. Do not force a damaged zipper closed.
Straps and Handles: Ensure that the straps are in good condition, properly adjusted, and that handles are firmly attached to the material.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning the Bag, Backpack, or Sack

To keep bags, backpacks, and sacks in good condition, clean them regularly according to the manufacturer's instructions for the specific material.
For waterproof bags and backpacks, regularly check the material to ensure it has not lost its waterproof properties. If the material has lost its waterproofness, use appropriate products to restore its function.
Bags and backpacks that have come into contact with seawater should be thoroughly rinsed with fresh water to remove salt and prevent material damage.
Storage

Store bags, backpacks, and sacks in a dry, cool place to prevent material decay and mold growth. Avoid storing them in areas where they may be exposed to direct UV radiation.
Emergency Situations
Bag, Backpack, or Sack Damage
If the bag, backpack, or sack is damaged (e.g., a torn strap or broken zipper), immediately stop using it and repair or replace it.
In emergency situations, such as a tear in the material, use special repair kits that can assist in a quick fix, or apply a temporary solution (e.g., repair tape) until you can perform a full repair.
Additional Notes
Transportation Recommendations

If the bag or backpack is used to transport heavy items, ensure that you do not exceed the maximum weight specified by the manufacturer. Overloading the bag may lead to damage and decreased comfort.
When using backpacks, make sure to properly adjust the straps to distribute the weight evenly and avoid overloading your back.
Theft Protection

When traveling, use a bag or backpack with additional security features, such as locks, compartments, or anti-theft systems. These will help ensure the safety of your belongings in public places.
Contact in Case of Problems
If you notice any manufacturing defect or damage to the bag, backpack, or sack, contact the manufacturer or point of sale. Do not modify the product yourself in a way that could affect its functionality or safety.
