unattended, as another person might pick it up and try to use it. To ensure
proper operation of your RC system, make sure that the batteries are kept
fully charged.
Do not ignore warnings! They refer to materials and situations, which, if
ignored, can - in extreme cases - result in fatal injury or permanent damage.
You alone are responsible for the safe operation of your model and motor.
Questions regarding the safe operation of model and motor can be answered
by your retailer.
• Propellers and all rotating parts that are powered by a motor pose a
constant risk of injury. Do not touch them with any part of your body! For
example, a propeller spinning at high speed can cut off a finger!
• Always keep well clear of the rotational plane of the propeller! You never
know when some part may come loose and fly off at high speed and with
great energy, hitting you or a third party. Make sure that no other object can
come into contact with the rotating propeller.
• Be careful with loose clothing, such as scarves, loose shirts, et cetera: They
can be sucked in by the propeller stream and get in the way of the propeller
itself.
• If there are passers-by or spectators at your flying site, make sure that they
are aware of the dangers inherent in your activity before you start the
motor, and insist that they keep a safe distance away (at least 5 m).
• Model aircraft may be flown only at "normal" outside temperatures,
meaning in a range of - 5º C to + 35º C; more extreme temperatures can lead
to changes, for example in battery capacity and material characteristics, et
cetera.
• Model fuel is poisonous! Do not let it come into contact with eyes or mouth!
Store only in clearly marked containers out of the reach of children.
• Never run the motor in closed rooms, such as basement, garage, et cetera.
Model motors also produce deadly carbon monoxide gas.
Operate only outdoors!
• Adhesives and paints contain materials which may be hazardous to health
under certain circumstances. You should therefore observe the notes and
warnings supplied by the manufacturers of these materials.
• Model fuel is highly flammable and combustible; keep away from open
flames, excessive heat, any sources of sparks or other things that could
lead to ignition. Do not smoke in the direct vicinity of fuel or fuel fumes.
