• Warm-up: Perform a proper warm-up before each workout session to prepare your muscles.
• Secure Collars: Ensure all star-lock collars are tightly secured on the dumbbell bars before lifting to prevent weight plates from slipping off.
• Clear Area: Exercise in a clear, unobstructed area to avoid accidents.
• Children and Pets: Keep the dumbbell kit out of reach of children and pets.
• Inspect Equipment: Before each use, inspect the dumbbell bars, weight plates, and collars for any signs of wear, damage, or loose parts. Do not use if damaged.

Package Contents

• 4 x Star-Lock Collars
• 8 x 1kg Cast Iron Weight Plates

• 1 x Storage Case

Setup

Follow these steps to assemble your dumbbells:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all dumbbell bars, weight plates, and star-lock collars from the storage case.
2. Select Weight: Determine the desired weight for your exercise. The kit includes 1kg and 2kg plates, allowing for various weight combinations.
3. Load Plates: Slide the chosen weight plates onto the smooth end of a dumbbell bar. Ensure the plates are centered and evenly distributed.
4. Secure with Collar: Once the plates are loaded, screw a star-lock collar onto the threaded end of the dumbbell bar until it is tight against the weight plates. Repeat for the other side.
5. Verify Tightness: Before lifting, double-check that both star-lock collars are securely fastened to prevent any movement of the weight plates during your workout.

Operating Instructions

Using your Domyos dumbbells effectively and safely:

• Start Light: Begin with lighter weights to master the exercise form before increasing the load.
• Controlled Movements: Perform all exercises with slow, controlled movements. Avoid swinging the weights.
• Breathing: Remember to breathe properly during your workout. Exhale during the exertion phase and inhale during the recovery phase.
• Listen to Your Body: Stop immediately if you feel any pain or discomfort.
• Variety of Exercises: Dumbbells can be used for a wide range of exercises targeting different muscle groups, including bicep curls, tricep extensions, shoulder presses, squats, and lunges.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and safety of your dumbbell kit:

• Cleaning: Wipe down the dumbbell bars and weight plates with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Storage: Store the dumbbell kit in its original case in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check the threading on the bars and the collars for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the weight plates are free from cracks or deformities.
• Lubrication: The threaded parts of the bars and collars do not typically require lubrication. If they become stiff, clean them thoroughly.

Troubleshooting

Common issues and their solutions:

• Weight Plates Loosening: If weight plates become loose during exercise, immediately stop and re-tighten the star-lock collars. Ensure they are screwed on firmly before resuming.
• Difficulty Screwing Collars: Check for any debris in the threads of the bar or collar. Clean thoroughly. If the threads appear damaged, discontinue use and contact support.
• Damaged Components: If any part of the kit (bar, plate, or collar) is cracked, bent, or otherwise damaged, do not use the product. Contact customer support for replacement parts or guidance.
