Safety Rules

Read all of these basic safety precautions before starting to work on any of the motors. Failure to do so may result in personal injury, fire, and electric shock.

• You should always keep your work area clean and well lit.
• All motors include many small parts; keep very young children away from your work area.
• Motors spin very fast; always wear safety goggles.
• Super Glue, provided with every kit, is "instant bonding". Point tube away from face and body. Do not squeeze while opening.
• The T-pin and pushpin are sharp, be careful not to poke yourself.
• Do not leave the motor unattended.
• If you leave the battery shorted for a long period of time it may rupture or even explode.
• Do not exceed 12 Volts to power the motors. You may get an electric shock. High voltages may also cause parts to overheat and create a fire.
• If the current flowing through the transistor is big, it may get very hot. Do not touch it to prevent burns.
• The soldering iron gets very hot! Be very careful with this tool, as it is easy to burn yourself with it.
• Health hazard warning: Solder may contain lead. It is not suitable for small children.

These motor kits should not be used by anyone younger than 13 years old without adult supervision.
