WARNING
Children as young as eight
years of age can enjoy
experimenting with the built
Ultra Bionic Blaster, but
most children under ten
years will need help building
it. Please support your child
with advice and a helping
hand, especially during
tricky assembly steps.
Before beginning, discuss
the safety instructions.
Take special care when
cutting the plastic parts out
of the frames with the
diagonal cutters or scissors
because of the sharp edges
on the tools and sharp edges
or burrs on the plastic parts.
These can be removed with
the help of the diagonal
cutters or a nail file.
Supervise your child when
they are using the sharp
tools until you trust that they
can handle the tools
independently.
We hope you and your
child have a lot of fun
building and playing with the
Ultra Bionic Blaster!

Assembling the Ultra Bionic Blaster
After installing subassemblies A, B, and C,
test the trigger.
> When the trigger is at rest, both green
sliders should be all the way down, and
there should be no gap between the
trigger and the handle.
> Now squeeze the trigger. The motion
should be smooth, and the trigger should
spring back easily.
