Safety and Warnings Warning Always check your wiring before turning on a circuit. Never leave a circuit unattended while the batteries are installed. Never connect additional batteries or any other power sources to your circuits. Discard any cracked or broken parts. Adult Supervision Because children’s abilities vary so much, even within age groups, adults should exercise discretion as to which experiments are suitable and safe through reference to the instructions.
Eye protection is recommended. Shock Hazard Never connect the components to electrical outlets in your home in any way! Choking Hazard Contains small parts. Can be dangerous for children under 3 years. only intended for use by children age 8 years and older. s Short Circuits The following are examples of short circuits. Such a configuration can permanently damage components. Placing a 3-wire directly across the batteries will cause a SHORT: When:the slide: switch: turned: on, this:large circuit has:a.
