Warnings
Fencing blades and weapons (foil, épée, sabre) may only be used for practicing the sport of fencing according to the rules of the International Fencing Federation (FIE) or the respective national fencing federation.

Use by minors: The use of blades by minors must be strictly supervised by a fencing master (coach).

Foil and épée blades may only be used with a fixed tip (electrical tip for electric blades or plastic tip for manual blades).

Before each use, the blade must be checked for damage, cracks, or deformation. Damaged blades that show cracks or significant nicks must not be used further.

Blade bending: If the blade bends more than 30°, it must not be used anymore due to the risk of breakage.

Bent blades: A bent blade must not be straightened, as it may have cracks and could break during a bout.

Broken blades pose a particular threat. The circumstances of a blade break can lead to high speeds of the tip and high-energy impacts. It is known that broken blades can penetrate protective clothing with potentially fatal consequences. Therefore, fencing weapons may only be used in conjunction with complete protective gear (according to DIN/EN 13567 in the latest version) to minimize the risk of injury.

Do not touch blades with bare hands to avoid injuries from sharp edges, nicks, or splinters.

Fencing blades and weapons (foil, épée, sabre) must not be altered or manipulated by the user. Repairs or replacement of parts may only be carried out by qualified personnel.

Fencing blades may only be used as completely and properly assembled fencing weapons (foil, épée, sabre) with compliant grips, guards, and tips to ensure safe handling.

Fencing weapons and blades should be transported in a suitable fencing weapon bag and stored in a safe, dry place to prevent damage or accidents.
Caring and storing instructions

After each training session or competition, the blade should be wiped with a soft, dry cloth to remove sweat, moisture and dirt. If the blade is heavily soiled, it may be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. The blade should then be dried thoroughly. 

The electric tip should be checked regularly to ensure proper function and kept free from dust and dirt. The tip screws and electrical wire should also be inspected regularly to ensure they are secure and free from damage. 

The blade should be stored in a dry place at a reasonably constant room temperature. Damp environments, extreme temperature fluctuations and storage together with wet fencing clothing should be avoided. For transport, the use of a suitable weapon compartment of blade tube is recommended to protect the blade from damage. 

Before each use, the blade should be inspected for cracks, nicks, bends or other signs of damage. Damaged blades must not be used for safety reasons. Regular care and proper storage will help maintain the blade's functionality and extend its service life.
