BF FIE MARAGING WIRED FOIL BLADE

Warning/safety notes

HUOMIO

Fencing blades and weapons (foil, epee, sabre) may only be used for the practice of fencing according to the rules of the FIE or the respective national fencing federation.

Foil and epee blades may only be used with firmly mounted tips (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 with cracks or deep notches must not be used further.

Broken blades pose a particular threat. The circumstances of a blade breakage may result in high tip velocities and consequent high energy impacts by the broken blade. 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 equipment (according to DIN/EN 13567, in the latest version) to minimize injury risk.

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

Fencing blades and weapons (foil, epee, sabre) must not be altered or manipulated by the user. Repairs or part replacements may only be performed by qualified professionals.

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

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