› › › SAFETY INFORMATION

Before starting the experiments, read

through the instruction manual together

with your child and discuss the safety

information. Check to make sure the models

have been assembled correctly, and assist

your child with the experiments.

We hope you and your child have a lot of

fun with the experiments!

Dear Parents and Adults,

Warning! Not suitable for children under 3

years. Choking hazard — small parts may be

swallowed or inhaled.

Keep the packaging and the instructions as

they contain important information.

Store the experiment materials and

assembled models out of the reach of small

children.

The models are intended for indoor use. Do

not use your models in a sandbox.

Safety Advice for Batteries

››› Two AA baeries (1.5-volt, type LR6) are

required for operation.

››› The supply terminals are not to be short-

circuited. A short circuit can cause the

wires to overheat and the baeries to

explode.

››› Diﬀerent types of baeries (e.g.,

rechargeable and standard) or new and

used baeries are not to be mixed.

››› Do not mix old and new baeries.

››› Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-

zinc), or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium)

baeries.

››› Baeries are to be inserted with the correct

polarity. Press them gently into the baery

compartment. See page 2.

››› Always close the baery compartment

with the lid.

››› Non-rechargeable baeries are not to be

recharged. They could explode!

››› Rechargeable baeries are only to be

charged under adult supervision.

››› Rechargeable baeries are to be removed

from the toy before being charged.

››› Exhausted baeries are to be removed

from the toy.

››› Dispose of used baeries in accordance

with environmental provisions, not in the

household trash.

››› Be sure not to bring baeries into contact

with coins, keys, or other metal objects.

››› Avoid deforming the batteries.

››› Please remove the batteries if the toy is

likely to be unused for a long time.

The electronic components of this product are recyclable. For the sake of the

environment, do not throw them into the household trash at the end of their

lifespan.

They must be delivered to a collection location for electronic waste, as

indicated by the following symbol:

Please contact your local authorities for the appropriate disposal location.

THE ANCHOR PIN LEVER

Side A of the lever can be used to easily

remove anchor pins.

Side B can be used to loosen firmly

inserted parts, such as axle plugs.

BATTERIES How to insert and remove the batteries

Open the battery compartment by sliding the lid open. Insert two batteries. Make sure you fit

the positive and negative ends into the compartment in the direction indicated (with the correct

polarity). Then close the compartment. When it is time to replace the batteries, remove the old

batteries and insert the new ones with the correct polarity.

THE LEVER

A lever is a simple machine used to

raise or move an object; it consists of

a rigid beam that can pivot on a fixed

point, called the fulcrum. The side on

which the load to be moved is located

is called the load arm. The other side,

on which the moving force is applied,

is called the force arm.

These tools and toys take advantage

of the fact that you can generate a

great force by exercising a small force

if you move farther away to do so.

THE ANCHOR PIN LEVER

The anchor pin lever in your

experiment kit also uses a lever

like this so that you can take the

components apart more easily. The

pivot point is between the two lever

arms, so we call it a “double-sided

lever.”

In this case, the wheel of the

wheelbarrow is the pivot (fulcrum)

of the lever. The two lever arms

constitute the distance to the center

of gravity of the load and the distance

to the hold point of the wheelbarrow.

Because both lever arms are on the

same side, this type of lever is called

a “one-sided lever.” But the principle is

the same as with the anchor pin lever!

››› Everyday examples include

seesaws, crowbars, and wrenches.

››› A wheelbarrow uses a different

kind of leverage to reduce the

amount of force needed to lift

a load.

THE FORCES ON A LEVER

The fulcrum is the spot on the bottom

of the anchor pin lever that doesn’t

move when the tool is used to pry up

a pin. The two arms pivot around this

point.

Load Arm and Force Arm

When you press on the handle with

enough effort force for the anchor

pin to come out of its hole, the part

separator tool is in a state of balance

or equilibrium in its work. The arm of

the lever on the effort side is longer

in proportion to the degree that the

effort force is smaller. The opposite

happens on the load side. The load

arm is shorter in proportion to the

degree that the load force is greater.

If the effort arm is twice as long as

the load arm, then there is a balance

when the effort force is half as great

as the load force. Effort force (kg)

times the distance on the effort arm

from the exertion point of the effort

force to the fulcrum (m) is equal to

load force (kg) times the distance

from the load force to the fulcrum

on the load arm (m). Written a little

differently, this is how the equation

goes:

effort force x effort arm length

load force x load arm length
