Main risks

• Punctures and cuts from dart points (metal or plastic).
• Impacts from bounce-outs or misthrows, risking injury to eyes and hands.
• Striking other people or pets if they enter the throwing area.
• Falls when moving to retrieve darts due to slippery floors or obstacles.
• Damage to walls, doors or floors from throws outside the board or improper installation.
• The dartboard falling due to poorly secured mounting or wall fixings.
• Choking hazard from small parts (flights, shafts and interchangeable points).
• Battery leakage or overheating in electronic dartboards (if applicable).

Safe use

• Install the dartboard on a solid wall or mount following the manufacturer’s instructions and check the fixings before playing.
• Mark out a clear throwing area with free space in front and to the sides; keep people and pets behind the thrower.
• Do not throw while someone is retrieving darts; set clear turns and signals to start and stop.
• Use darts compatible with the type of board; do not force stuck darts to avoid damage.
• Before each use, check that points, shafts and flights are secure and not bent or deformed.
• Walk with darts pointing downwards and use cases or tip protectors when transporting them.
• Place a surround ring or backing panel around the board to reduce bounce-outs and wall damage.
• On electronic models: use soft tips if indicated and insert the batteries with the correct polarity, without mixing types or new with used (if applicable).

Storage and maintenance

• Store darts in a case with tip protectors, out of the reach of children.
• Keep the dartboard in a dry, ventilated place; avoid high humidity and direct sunlight.
• Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth; do not use abrasive products or immerse the product. On electronic dartboards, do not spray liquids.
• Periodically check and tighten screws and fasteners on the mounting system.
• Rotate a fibre (sisal) dartboard periodically to distribute wear, if the model allows.
• Replace worn or bent points, and damaged shafts and flights; dispose of broken parts safely.
• If it uses batteries: remove them when not being used for long periods and store them away from heat.
