1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Non-compliance of the security measures could lead to personal and material damages
(burns, cuts and bruises, even fires.) The following security and safety directions can
protect your health, of others, and the product’s. In the case of giving this machine to
someone else, be sure to pass the manual as well.
This machine should not be handle by people insensitive to heat and/or dependent
people who can not react quickly to overheating. In the same matter, the use of this
machine should be limited to people who have physical, sensorial or mental
difficulties, as well as lack of knowledge and experience, unless it has been explained
properly and understands the risks that entails.
Prevent children from unsupervised access to the printer.
This machine generates high heat temperatures. Let it cool down before
handling the printer.
The machine could keep warm for few minutes after printing.
The printer includes movable parts that could cause injuries. Assure yourself that
the machine has fully stopped and it has no electrical power supply before
handling it.
Do not open the lower and upper lids of the printer. The interior contents are all
electrical (power supply, control panel, and a Solid State Relay) could cause an
electric shock. The interior component should be manipulated by a professional.
There are air intakes on the sides and a fan in the back of the printer, these
elements should not be cover up for the correct operation of the device.
In case of emergency, disconnect the printer from the power outlet.
Do not leave the machine unattended while functioning.
Keep out of reach of children and always under adult supervision. It could have small
parts and material remains.
The device melts down plastics and other materials which could let out odors during
regular functioning. Place the machine in a well ventilated area.
Keep in mind the risks of the movable parts (catching, pinching, cutting or smashing)
to your body or someone else’s not following the safety measures. The motor and
movable parts don’t have enough strength to cause any severe damage under
normal use conditions.
About the hot areas, the hotend could reach very high temperatures, if touched,
could cause severe burns. The impression surface could reach temperatures high
enough to cause moderate burns.
DO NOT TOUCH ANY HOT PART OF THE MACHINE, ESPECIALLY
THE HOTEND. BURNING DANGER!!!!!!
If you need to remove filament glued to nozzle, use metal tweezers or
another heat resistant utensil.
The LCD screen shows the actual temperatures of hotend and impression
surface. Before touching or intervene in the machine, make sure the heat has
gone down to room temperature.
In need of the hot glass removal from the printer, use gloves or other form of
protection. The glass will keep hot for a long while after been finished.
The tempered glass is heat resistant but be careful not to damage, hit or
break it. There is a risk of cutting yourself in case of breakage. Dispose of it
properly and after that, it needs to be replaced.
Show caution with long hair and loose garments around pulleys, belts, gears,
and fans due to the possible risk of getting stuck in them.
Do not manipulate any electrical connection while functioning or connected
to the power supply. Make sure the device is disconnected from the main
power outlet, before any maintenance is done.
Place the printer on a flat, stable and even surface, avoiding blocking the air
supply.
The 3D Printer is equipped with safety measures against overheating which
will prevent from reaching the established limits, by stopping the heating
process. A warning will appear on the screen “MAX TEMP”. When it happens,
restart the printer.
Do not hold or lift the printer by the arm of the printing hotend (X-Axis) as
well as the lifting shaft spindle (Z Axis); these are non-structural movement
elements.
If/when it’s needed to move the printer, unplug all cables and hold with two
hands on each side of the lower structure.
If you notice any damage on the elements of the printer, do not use it; you
should contact us through the technical support channel to receive the
relevant instructions.
Avoid dissembling, loosening up, tightening up or substituting any of the
printer’s fastening elements. These should be done by the technical support.
High accelerations of movement and changes will happen while the device is
working. Do not access the full volume of printing while is performing.
