TECHNICAL AND OPERATING MANUAL OF EXPANDABLE BATON
– THE STANDARD VERSION –
Before the first use of baton read carefully through this technical and operating manual. Practical use
should be consistent with law and operating manual. The baton should not be used by someone, who
did not properly familiarize oneself with the use of this baton. The baton IS NOT intended for everyday
police use (professional use). For professional use the hardened version ExB-16H, ExB-21H or
ExB-26H is intended.
TO OPEN
1. Grasp the baton strongly in your hand by the rubber grip surface.
2. Sharply flick the baton in horizontal or little downward direction
fast enough to eject the baton and to cause the hard locking of
cones endings of tubes. NOTICE: the faster you open the baton, the
stronger it holds in the open position, but subsequently it could be
more difficult to close it. Never open the baton aimed at some
other person!
3. When using the baton always have it under control. Strike
directed against a head, face, neck or vital organs could be
potentially lethal.
4. If in the case of wrong opening the baton or upon performing a
defensive technique the baton partly closes, create a distance from
the assailant and use the opening move according to the part 2.
TO CLOSE
For easier release of locked cones it is recommended to tap slightly tip
of the baton on solid ground. When closing the baton hold it just with
your thumb and forefinger and let its weight direct it perpendicularly
to the ground. Do not hold it firmly in your closed hand since in
such case the baton often is not directed perpendicularly! When
collapsing the baton by quick swing without excessive force strike its
tip downward in a vertical motion against hard, flat and if possible
smooth surface. Rapidity of the swing is here more important
than force.
ATTENTION! During the closing process the baton affects by its strong
power this surface and could cause its damage. Strike about a soft or
elastic surface, like wooden floor or carpet, shall not release locking of
cones endings. To keep the baton clear, never close it on a dirty surface
(like a sand), to avoid the contamination inside the baton. Never close
the baton without the spring guide cap. After releasing the tubes it is
not necessary to hammer the baton into the rubber handle, as there is
a risk of damaging the surface.
MAINTENANCE
Make periodically preventive control of the baton, whether it is not damaged, also perform preventive
cleansing. Check, whether tip of the baton did not become loosened. Should it become loose, apply
adhesive Loctite 270 into threads and tighten it quickly.
