Usage Features:

The FreeREEL is designed for ease of use, with a quick-start guide that outlines the basic steps for managing cords and hoses.

1. Attaching a Cord or Hose (FIG 1 and 2):

   • The user holds the FreeREEL with their right hand, placing their thumb on the "THUMB PAD."
   • The cord or hose is guided through the "CORD GUIDE" at the top of the FreeREEL.
   • The "SHOCK CORD" mechanism is engaged to secure the cord or hose to the device, ensuring it remains attached during reeling.

2. Reeling a Cord or Hose ONTO the FreeREEL (FIG 3):

   • The user holds the FreeREEL with their left hand on the "BLUE HANDLE" and their right hand on the "RED HANDLE."
   • By rotating the handles, the cord or hose is wound onto the FreeREEL. This action efficiently coils the item, preventing tangles and making it compact for storage.

3. Taking a Cord or Hose OFF of the FreeREEL (FIG 4):

   • To unreel, the user secures the "CORD END" (e.g., by plugging it into an outlet or holding it).
   • The user then "WALKS AWAY" from the FreeREEL, allowing the cord or hose to smoothly unwind from the device. This method ensures a tangle-free deployment of the cord or hose for immediate use.

4. Storage (FIG 5):

   • The FreeREEL can be stored in a wall storage bracket.
   • It is designed to be stored with the cord or hose already loaded onto it, keeping the item organized and ready for the next use. The diagram shows the FreeREEL hanging vertically from a bracket, with the "BLUE HANDLE" at the top and the "RED HANDLE" at the bottom, indicating a compact and accessible storage solution.
