Safety Information and Warnings for Use Document

Introduction: This document aims to inform the user about the correct methods of using hobby materials sold on the "Il tappeto magico di Silvia" website and to limit the seller's liability for damages resulting from improper or negligent use.

1. Specific Warnings for Needles (Lavor, Oxford) and Hoops/Frames
· Nature of Tools: The Punch Needle and hoops/frames (especially those equipped with staples/prongs for fabric tensioning) are sharp technical tools.
· Handling Hoops/Frames: Hoops/frames with metal staples must be handled exclusively by the non-exposed edges. Direct contact with the fastening surface can cause scratches or cuts. For plastic hoops: ensure the metal screw is tightened securely but do not overtighten to avoid cracks in the material. Before each use, check that the hoop/frame has no cracks or damage. In case of plastic breakage, discontinue use to avoid scratches or damage to the fabric.
· Usage: During work, pay attention to the position of your hands relative to the needle tip and the metal parts of the hoop/frame.

2. Safety of Kits, Small Components, and Yarns
· Choking and Ingestion Hazard: Kits contain small accessories (needle threaders) and yarns.
· Warning for Children and Animals: Yarns, if ingested, can cause serious health damage (choking or intestinal obstructions). Keep kits, yarns, and waste materials strictly out of reach of children and pets.
· Storage: Store hoops/frames (especially those with exposed prongs) and needles in their protective cases after each use.

3. Textile Materials (Monk's Cloth and Yarns)
· Allergies and Sensitivities: Check the composition of the fabrics (e.g., cotton, wool) indicated in the product sheet.
· Flammability: Textile materials are not flame retardant. Keep away from open flames or heat sources.

4. Exclusion of Liability
· The Seller is not responsible for damages to people, animals, or property resulting from:
o Use of tools not in accordance with instructions.
o Accidental ingestion of yarns or components by children or animals.
o Negligence in storing needles, hoops/frames with staples, and accessories.
· The purchase and use of materials are the sole responsibility of the user.

⚠️ Safety Guidelines and Warnings

1. Sharp Tools: Punch Needles (such as Oxford or Lavor) are professional tools with sharp metal tips. Handle with care. When not in use, always store them in their protective cases or out of reach.
Plastic hoops feature a tension screw and a locking groove; ensure they are properly tightened and handle with care to avoid pinching fingers. Inspect for any cracks before use.
Frames included in kits come pre-tensioned with professional metal staples. Warning: the back of the frame has exposed metal staples. Handle the frame exclusively by the outer wooden edges. Do not touch the stapled area to avoid scratches or cuts. Do not attempt to remove the fabric with bare hands.

2. Safety and Storage: These products are intended for adult hobbyist use only. Keep away from children and pets. Small parts and sharp tips may pose a risk of injury or choking.

3. Textile Materials (Monk's Cloth and Yarn):

• Allergies: Please check the fiber composition (e.g., cotton, wool, polyester) listed on the product page.
• Flammability: Textile materials are not fireproof. Keep away from open flames or heat sources.

4. Yarn Safety: Do not leave loose yarn unattended. It may pose a strangulation or ingestion hazard for pets.
