2.3 Operator’s Obligations
In addition to complying with the statutory regulations specified by the manufacturer, the operator must
ensure the statutory obligations are observed and implemented at the work place, i.e. the operator must
train personnel and comply with industrial safety legislation and any other regulations or laws in force.
For working at and with the unit, the operator must draw up written instructions in an understandable
form and give these to the employees in their own language. These instructions must be based on the
B9Clean User Manual and shall be written considering the work to be performed.
The B9Clean is intended to be used strictly in a laboratory setting where personnel operating the
equipment are held to a high standard of process control and safety procedure.
2.4 Operations and Maintenance Log Book
B9Creations, LLC recommends the operator keeps a log book for the B9Clean. All tests on the equipment,
necessary or suggested compliance testing, and essential works (e.g. repair work, modifications) should be
documented in this book.
2.5 Safety Information
Safety concerning the protection of persons, the environment, and the material to be processed mainly
depends on the behavior of the persons operating the unit.
WARNING
No modifications of this equipment are allowed.
CAUTION
Prior to operation, read the B9Clean User Manual carefully. Adhere to the information provided to avoid
errors, equipment damage, and injury to the operator.
In addition to the information in these work instructions, relevant national laws and guidelines must be
observed for setting up and operating this unit (technical connection requirements of the electrical supply
companies, etc.).
CAUTION
The connecting power supply cable and plug must be checked for damage prior to operation. If any
damage exists, the unit must not be connected to the mains. A damaged mains power supply may only
be replaced by a mains power supply of the same type.
Failure to comply increases risk of electrical shock and serious harm of operator or third parties.
FLAMMABLE
Isopropyl alcohol, the intended cleaning solvent, is highly flammable in both liquid and vapor states. The
operating environment must be free of open flame, sparks, other ignition sources or excessive heat.
Failure to comply increases risk of combustion and serious harm of operator or third parties.

CAUTION
Isopropyl alcohol, the intended cleaning solvent, can be damaging to the human body through ingestion,
inhalation, and bodily contact. Read and adhere to the safety information detailed on the isopropyl
alcohol container’s label or contact the organization responsible for your local hazardous materials
regulations for more information.
Mandatory safety equipment:
• Eye protection
• Suitable gloves (see chemical protective gloves, category 3, EN 374)
• Clothing that covers exposed skin
• Fire extinguisher
• Ventilation hood (air circulation in closed room/loop prohibited, free exhaust air into environment
only)
WARNING
To avoid risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a supply mains with protective
earth.
WARNING DISCONNECT FROM MAINS
Maintenance and repair of the electrical equipment of the device must only be performed by
B9Creations, LLC, in the “safe” condition (voltage cleared, and device unplugged from mains). Service
agents must observe the safety instructions when performing service to the electrical equipment.
Removal of protective enclosure components for ANY purpose voids equipment warranty.
CAUTION
Proper function and safety of the device are only guaranteed if the required tests, maintenance, and
repair work have been performed by B9Creations, LLC or trained and authorized service staff.
NOTE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the User Manual, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur in an
individual installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that of the receiver.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
If this equipment is receiving interference that affects the B9Clean, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the unit or emitting equipment.

• Increase the separation between the cleaning device and emitting equipment.
• Connect the unit into an outlet on a circuit different from that of the emitting equipment.
• Isolate the unit and emitting equipment from each other, setting up in separate rooms if possible.
3 Intended Use and Proper Operation
3.1 Intended Use
The B9Clean is an automated cleaning system that utilizes an agitated, contained volume of isopropyl
alcohol (isopropanol) to clean excess uncured 3D printing liquid material from 3D printed parts (“parts”).
Cleaning of parts and unit use shall be done by trained professionals in 3D printing laboratory
environments.
The unit is not suitable nor intended for any purpose other than cleaning in these stated industries or
recreations.
3.2 Proper Operation
CAUTION
The unit is suitable to be set up and operated in clean laboratory environments. The unit has been
designed for continuous operation.
• Only 3D printed parts made of cured resin shall be washed in the B9Clean. Cleaning anything that is
not a resin-based, 3D-printed part will void the warranty.
• Do not excessively clean a 3D printed part by continuing to expose it to isopropyl alcohol past the
point of removing the uncured resin. Over exposure may lead to structural degradation by
weakening the part’s cured resin.
• Ensure that the outer container, inner container, inner container plug, hanging arm, Build Table,
and lid are all secured in their proper positions before starting a cleaning cycle.
NOTE
Isopropyl alcohol is the only solvent suitable to be used in the B9Clean. Using any other substance as the
solvent will void the warranty.
NOTE
Do not modify the firmware and hardware of device if not authorized by B9Creations, LLC.
