Safety Precautions
Before using the printer, be sure to read this ‘Safety Manual’ and follow these guidelines.
Following these instructions will prevent user injury, third-party harm, and damage of the printer.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in a serious injury or damage to the printer.
Warning: Failure to comply may cause a serious injury or property loss.
Caution: Failure to comply may cause injury or property loss.
Note: Useful tips or additional information.
Connect the printer only to the power outlet with a ground connection.
Since high heat is generated while the printer is operating, there is a risk of burn if a
body part or an object is inserted into the printer while it is operating. If there is a need to
insert a body part or an object into the printer, make sure to fully cool it down after
stopping the operation completely.
Since high current power is applied to the heating bed, be cautious about an electric
shock when touching the bed (especially when touching the power supply module of the
bed).
The printer uses moving parts such as a motor, belt, gears, and fans. There is a risk of
injury due to jamming if a body part or an object is inserted into the printer while it is
operating.
Since there is a risk of fire or shock if water, other liquid, a piece of metal or other
conductive substance gets into the printer, be cautious. Also, since there is a risk of fire
or electric shock, do not operate it with a wet hand.
Since there is a risk of injury to children or pets by the printer, be cautious about where
the printer is set up. Adult supervision is required.
The printer and accessories include parts with sharp edges. Be cautious about potential
injury to yourself or damage to the printer.
Since filament, the material used in the printer, has a risk of fire or injury, do not attempt
to heat it with other devices or deform it. Also handle it with care since there is a risk of
choking on small parts, prints, or excess filament.
