4. Operating Instructions
The Hipicute Smith Machine Home Gym offers a variety of exercises. Familiarize yourself with the machine's functions and adjustments before beginning your workout.
4.1 Smith Machine Operation
- The Smith bar operates on linear bearings and solid hard chrome-plated steel rails for smooth movement.
- It features 15 adjustable height positions. To adjust, lift the bar slightly, rotate it to disengage from the safety hooks, and slide it to the desired height. Rotate back to engage the hooks.
- Always use the safety limiters to prevent the bar from descending below a safe point during exercises like squats and bench presses.
