Aim of the guide is to prevent printer user or third party injury and printer damage
Serious injury or printer damage may occur, unless you follow this safety guide.
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the
instructions.
Fire may occur due to part of human body or any object input into printer as high heat occur during printer
operation. Printer shall be stopped and cooled in the case of inputting human body part or any subject
inside printer during printer operation.
The printer operates movable parts such as motor, belt, gear etc. injury may occur due to getting jammed
in movable parts in the case of putting human body or any subject into printer.
User shall be cautious that fire or shock may occur in the case of putting water or other liquid or metal
pieces or any other conductive foreign substances into the printer. Besides, do not handle the printer with
wet hand as there is fire/electric shock danger.
User shall be cautios on installation place as children or pet may get injured by the printer. Children or pet
around the printer shall be under care and protection.
Printer or its subsidiary materials include sharp surfaced parts. The user shall be cautious of any possible
his/her body injury or printer damage.
Do not heat or transshape main material of the printer-Filament, as it may cause fire or injury. User shall
be cautious that suffocation may occur in the case of swallowing output or Filament leftover.
Do not use volatile objects for the printer as it may cause fire/explosion. Remove any ignition or
inflammable material from printer side, as negligance of such objects may cause fire.

5. Installation and printing preparation
5-1. Unpacking
①Take out the product from plastic packing.
②Move the product to installation spot.
* Considering volume and weight of the printer, at least two persons shall handle the printer.
* Release the printer from plastic packing and then take out only the printer without plastic packing as plastic
material may slip in the process of taking out.
③Open the front door and take out inside packing
material, accessories and check out if any material is
missing.
④Open the top door and take out extruder fixture packing material. Make
sure not to break the extruder driving cable or a Teflon.
* The driving part is fixed only with packing material without using cable tie to prevent potential problems when
the printer is operating with it. Please, be cafeful not to damage the part when removing the internal packing
material.

5-3. Filament installation
①You can open by pushing back a spool door handle of
the printer body.
②Slowly release the filament from filament spool and
push the filament into filament insert hole * be careful of the
rotation direction
③Open the top door and push in the filament until it
comes out of Teflon tube entrance
④Insert the filament spool into filament bar and fix spool by
closing the spool door pressing handle until you hear clicker.
* Filament spool has its own direction (Install the spool, make sure that company logo or the product sticker
side is visible from outside)
*Any interruption between filament bar and the spool, in the process of the filament spool installation, may
cause the printer malfunction as it raise the problem in a filament supply. Make sure to remove an obstacle,
which causes interruption to rotation in the spool insert process. Make sure to remove a spool package
included silica gel from inside spool.
* A teflon tube is the channel from the filament spool to the extruder. if the tube is pulled with exteme power,
tube breaking, or tube twisting may occur and it may cause abnormal filament operation and malfunction as
the teflon tube length is optimised to the printer. Do not break, cut or pull installed teflon tube with extreme
power.

* Make sure that the filament does not come loose in the process of taking out remaining filament spool. And
fix the remaining filament to the spool. Make sure that remaining filament does not come loose in storage
process.
* Keep remaining filament in use in a plastic bag to prevent it from outside exposure such as humidity and
dust. Make sure to use filament as soon as you open it. If the filament is exposed to external enviroment for
a while, the printing quality may get worse, it stops extruding from the extruder.
5-4. Printer power ON
Make sure to recheck inside packing material removal, any part damage, the spool installation
condition/rotation direction/rotation condition etc. in prior to turn on the printer power.
Do not neglect the printer by turning off the printer power in heat condition of the extruder. The printer
malfunction may be caused due to electronic part damage by abnormal cooling fan operation.
①Change power switch (O) of the printer body to
【OFF】
②Put a power cable to a socket.
③Change the power switch (｜) of the printer body to
【ON】
④Check the indication of LCD screen.

Make sure to check if the filament is extruding through a nozzle.
* Make sure to keep a nozzle part away from your body as nozzle gets hot once nozzle temperature of
the extruder gets high and melted filemant is also hot.
* The filament may get caught to a nozzle bar entrance in the process of the filemant goes into nozzle
bar of detachable extruder part. (you may hear crack sound) In that case, press the filament press
handle and pull filament up. Then cut the end part of filament with scisorrs and try loading again
putting the filament into insert hole.
* In the case of manual working by using the filament press handle, make sure not to pull the filament
up with extreme power as it may cause inside sensor or nozzle bar damage.
