CAUTION! Read Carefully
●RISK OF ELECTROCUTION Customer is responsible for proper
machine implementation, controls enclosure, grounding, safety
fuses, and wiring. Improper wiring could cause injury or death.
Consult a local electrician if unfamiliar with AC wiring.
●HOT MATERIALS & SURFACES Use gloves and eye protection
while operating the MDPE10 Extruder. The barrel and nozzle are
HOT and melted plastic can stick to the skin and cause serious
burns and injury.
●HIGH-PRESSURE EXPLOSION Air trapped inside the barrel
becomes highly pressurized during operation and can cause small
explosions from the nozzle which eject molten plastic in all
directions.
●TOXIC FUMES Some plastics such as PVC can produce
dangerously toxic fumes when they are heated. Always carefully
review the MSDS of any material before using it in the MDPE10 to
avoid dangers to your health. Always use the MDPE10 in a well-
ventilated area.
●In Case of Emergency ALWAYS include accessible emergency
power shut-offs as part of implementing the MDPE10.
●Only use the MDPE10 to extrude thermoplastic polymers. No other
use has been tested or approved by Massive Dimension.
●Always STOP the extruder before clearing the feed port or removing
the screw. Never stick anything into the feed port while the screw is
turning as this could damage your system.
●The MDPE10 is designed for indoor use only. Operate in a clean, dry
area.
●Only use the specified input voltage to operate the MDPE10 or
damage to the components could occur.
