There is no need to remove OWG after use.
The material under OWG with velvet must be a fabric
onto which the velvet back side can “grip”.
Clothing material (trousers/skirt) – if this material is
smooth, it will glide on the velvet top side!
Apply the brake before positioning/repositioning.
If in any doubt - please contact Etac.
