Do not touch the UV lamp during printing.
It can become extremely hot and could cause injuries or burns. When performing maintenance,
allow the lamp to cool for at least six minutes before you start.
If UV light from the printer is continuously irradiated onto combustible material for a few
seconds, it could ignite. If any pieces of media remain on the lamp, remove them.
DWARNING
Keep your clothes and body away from moving parts. Also, do not wear bracelets and so on
around the printer.
Otherwise, you could be caught by the moving parts and injured.
Do not look directly at the UV light or allow it to irradiate your skin. Also, make sure you are at
least 1 m away from the UV lamp during printing.
Harmful ultraviolet light (UV) can cause severe burns to the skin and loss of vision.
Wear industrial safety glasses that block UVA, UVB, and blue light.
Wear appropriate clothing that protects the skin from UV light.
Do not place a chair within 5 m of the printer.
The UV light emissions are at their highest at a height of 90 cm (35 inches) from the floor and
increase significantly as you approach the lamp. It is dangerous to sit near this printer while it is
operating.
