THE MANUAL FOR THE CARE AND REPAIR OF ELECTRICAL FENCING EQUIPMENT

With forewords by President, Fédération Internationale d'Escrime President, Academie d'Armes Internationale.

With the universal adoption of electrical fencing, knowledge and skill in the maintenance and repair of electrical fencing equipment has become a must for all fencers. Furthermore, an understanding of the scoring apparatus circuitry and the workings of the electrical weapons will enable the fencer to develop winning techniques and tactics. However, this topic is at best baffling to most people. Therefore, this manual is a welcome work, because it meets the above needs and is very reader-friendly, by providing easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions, accompanied by clear illustrations and troubleshooting charts.
