	Do not use this product for any purpose other than its intended use.
	The soft material part of this product is made of impact-sensitive materials. Do not impact except during evaluation. It may cause damages.
	This product is consumable. Replace the soft material part as necessary, since lacerations on the soft material part increase with repeated use.
	When storing this product, divide it into parts and return it to the bag in which it was packaged. Do not store in direct sunlight or in high temperature and humidity.
	Do not disassemble or modify this product.
