I've lost all faith in common sense, indeed, humanity, after reading this three-page instruction manual for a fan. At least they let you service ONE part of it yourself. That's one more than normal.

It's all about that "just in case."

At least you're not in Korea...else you'd have a timer and warnings about this:

I'm actually disappointed somewhat at the vanilla-ness of these warnings. Explosive fumes, sure, but these people are clearly not as imaginative as the higher grade of idiot. They don't even tell you not to operate it with the guard removed.
I could, I suppose, make a Korean fan death joke about the unattended fan/children or invalids line...

So long as we can still talk through the back of one to make our voices sound all choppy I'm good.

It is nearly impossible to damage yourself in a plastic fan with the guard removed. Your bones are way stronger then the force the motor of the fan provides. ...However if you were to come in contact with a jet turbine...

Some older (not clip-on, like this) larger plastic-bladed electric fans I've played with could probably chip a fingertip bone if conditions were perfect.
Mostly, I was amused that they don't want you to stick objects through the guard, but never once tell you not to run the fan without the front guard mounted, which is also possible with an idiot and would have similar results in most respects or worse. They didn't think of that - in other words, they need to go derper.
