Russian Handcuffs

A ripoff of the "standard" modern swing-through design (ala

Peerless Handcuffs, Smith & Wesson 100 Handcuffs,

Hiatt 2010 Handcuffs), these cuffs have the distinction of being poorly constructed (rough edges, loose tolerances, stiff mechanism) from a blued steel. They are also a little smaller (i.e. snugger fit - like the Crocket&Kelly Handcuffs). An instruction manual in Russian was included with these cuffs.

The key is non-standard but approximately the same size as a "standard" key. Double-locking is similar to "standard" cuffs.

4. Description of construction

Product is two locking mechanism connected by forged (welded) chain, rotating
sector with tooths (bow) and the key.

1) Locking mechanism
2) Sector (bow)
3) Ring
4) Key
5) Push pin

5. Order of preparing to work

a) Check whether or not product in working order before using. Follow this:

- be sure that sector 2 (bow) rotating freely,
- engage tooth sector 2 (bow) in locking mechanism
- Actuator of a the key 4 push the push-pin 5 inside of locking
        mechanism 1 (double lock locking mechanism)
- Set the key in keyhole and turn to counterclockwise (double-unlock
        locking mechanism),
- Turn the key 4 in clockwise direction and disengage the sector 2 (bow)
        from locking mechanism.

b) Locking mechanism must properly working by relative not strong
        force to the key.

6. Working order

a) Before using product should in initial state: sector 2 engaged in
        locking mechanism 1, not double-locking (push-pin 5 not engaged)
b) After using (application) bow 2 engage in locking mechanism. Be
        carefull, don't tightness to stop blood circulation.
c) To prevent picking of locking mechanism by extraneous things, push
        the push-bin 5 by actuator on the key 4.
d) To remove product set key in keyhole, turn the key in
        counterclockwise direction (double-unlock product), then turn the key
        in clockwise direction, hold key in this situation and disengage bow 2
        from locking mechanism.

7. Maintenance service.

a) Technical maintenance performing to check technical state of
        product and detecting malfunction of product work.
b) Not less often than 4 times per year necessary performing
        lubricating of locking mechanism.
c) In case of broke any parts of product, product must stop using and
        cannot restore (repair).

8. Shipping (transportation) and storing (keeping)
