2. Do not place the printer near any heat source or flammable or explosive objects. We suggest placing it
in a well-ventilated, low-dust environment.
3. Do not expose the printer to violent vibration or any unstable environment, as this may cause poor
print quality.
4. Before using experimental or exotic filaments, we suggest using standard filaments such as ABS or PLA
to calibrate and test the machine.
5. Do not use any other power cable except the one supplied. Always use a grounded three-prong power
outlet.
6. Do not touch the nozzle or printing surface during operation as they may be hot. Keep hands away from
machine while in use to avoid burns or personal injury.
7. Do not wear gloves or loose clothing when operating the printer. Such cloths may become tangled in
the printers moving parts leading to burns, possible bodily injury, or printer damage.
8. When cleaning debris from the printer hotend, always use the provided tools. Do not touch the nozzle
directly when heated. This can cause personal injury.
9. Clean the printer frequently. Always turn the power off when cleaning, and wipe with a dry cloth to
remove dust, adhered printing plastics or any other material off the frame, guide rails, or wheels . Use
glass cleaner or isopropyl alcohol to clean the print surface before every print for consistent results.
10. Children under 10 years of age should not use the printer without supervision.
