Fitting & user Instructions
Application of B8Shield:
Place the opening on the shank along the side of the lower part of the B8Shield diagonally over the loop on the shank of the hook.
Gently push the B8Shield diagonally down the shank of the hook as far as it will go until the top of the B8Shield is below the loop on the hook.
Rotate the B8Shield so that the wings are positioned above the tips of the hooks and the pairs of flaps at the bottom of the B8Shield are straight along the bends of the hook.
Carefully check that the B8Shield is firmly seated on the hook by touching it from different angles.
Examples of incorrect application of B8Shield:
B8Shield is applied to the hook and covers the loop on the upper part of the hook shaft so that the opening of the B8Shield does not close, which means that the B8Shield comes off more easily.
B8Shield is applied to the hook and the wings do not lie over the tips of the hooks, which causes the hooks to get caught in vegetation.
B8Shield is applied to the hook and the lower pairs of flaps on the B8Shield do not lie straight along the bends on the hook, which means that the B8Shield comes off more easily.
With the right size and correct mounting, it is unusual for the B8Shield to come loose from the hook, but with a powerful cut it can come loose and, in rare cases, even with strong blows against branches or rocks.
B8Shield is available in sizes 2, 4, 6, which match the sizes of standard hooks 2, 4, 6. For the B8Shield to work optimally, the size of the B8Shield must agree with the size of the hook. If they don't do that, the B8Shield doesn't lock stably on the hook and thus runs the risk of coming off more easily or getting stuck in vegetation.
Examples of incorrect size selections:
B8Shield size 4 is applied to hook size 2. The result is that B8Shield's wings do not cover the tips of the hooks, as B8Shield is too small for the hook, which causes the hooks to get stuck in vegetation.
B8Shield size 2 is applied to hook size 4. The result is that the B8Shield's shaft covers the loop on the upper part of the hook's shaft so that the opening on the B8Shield's shaft does not close and the lower pairs of hooks spread out to the sides, as the B8Shield becomes too large for the hook, which means that the B8Shield comes off more easily.
Some types of hooks that are outside the most standardized hooks may vary in size, in these cases it is recommended to replace that hook with a more standardized hook of the correct size.
Optimal hook sizes for B8Shield:
Size 2 - width 10 mm & length 26 mm
Size 4 - width 8 mm & length 23 mm
Size 6 - width 6.5 mm & length 19 mm
Feel free to use the ruler on the B8Shield's packaging to measure your hooks for optimal fit. Measure the width from the shaft out to one of the tips of the hook and the length from the top of the loop to the bottom of the bend.
