1.3 Safety equipment
General
WARNING!
Danger with non-functioning or dismantled safety
devices!
Safety equipment must be checked for function each
time the printer is turned on. These may not be removed
or changed. Improperly functioning or removed safety
devices can lead to life threatening injuries.
—All safety equipment must be checked for
function each time the printer is turned on.
—If the safety devices are not functioning correctly,
the operation must be stopped immediately.
Defective safety devices must be replaced
immediately.
Safety covers
(Protective hood)
The protective covers of the printer protect against direct contact with
the live electrical equipment of the printer and direct exposure to UV
radiation. They must not be removed or opened during operation.
Check that all safety covers are firmly installed and can be completely
closed.

1.4 Attached safety markings
WARNING!
Danger from illegible signs!
Over time, stickers and signs may become dirty or
otherwise unrecognisable, so that dangers cannot be
detected and necessary operating instructions cannot be
followed. Thereby a risk of injury arises.
—All safety, warning and operating instructions
must always be in a legible state.
—Damaged labels and signs must be renewed.
The following stickers and signs are in the work area. They refer to the
immediate environment in which they are attached.
Live components
The areas marked with this symbol can be live. Work in these areas
may only be carried out by qualified electricians.
Hand injuries
The building space of the machine marked with this symbol consists of
moving parts among others. Work in the building space of the machine
may only be carried out with the machine in an inactive state. There is
a danger of hand injuries.
UV radiation
Working in the area of the machine marked with this sign may result in
exposure to UV radiation. Work in this area may only be carried out
when wearing UV protection goggles.
Wear UV protective goggles
It is recommended to wear protective goggles to protect the eyes from
direct UV radiation.
1.5 Residual risks
The machine is designed and manufactured according to the state of
the art and according to current safety requirements. Nevertheless,
residual risks remain, which require prudent action. The following lists
the residual risks and the resulting behaviour and measures.

Rapid Shape GmbH │DOCR000231
1.5.1 Electrical current
DANGER!
Danger to life due to electric current!
Incorrect connection, insulation faults, foreign objects
(dust, liquid due to inappropriate installation
environment) or lack of grounding can lead to housing
parts being live. There is an imminent danger of
electrocution in the event of contact with live parts.
—Work on the electrical equipment may only be
carried out by qualified electricians and in
compliance with the relevant safety and VDE
regulations.
—Machines with damage to the power cord,
insulation or lack of earthing must be disconnect-
ed from the mains immediately. Repairs are to be
made immediately.
—Before starting work on active parts of the
electrical equipment and operating material,
make sure that it is de-energised and secure for
the duration of the work.
—Fuses must never be bypassed or put out of
service.
—Connect the mains plug to the nearest and
correctly grounded socket of the machine.
—Only operate the machine with the mains voltage
specified for the machine.
—The mains plug must be freely accessible at all
times. A complete separation of the machine from
the mains in an emergency by pulling out the
power plug (→Chapter 5).
—Disconnect the machine in case of prolonged
absence and in the case of storms.
—Keep moisture away from live parts. This may lead
to short circuiting.
1.5.2 Mechanical dangers
CAUT ION!
Risk of injury due to moving parts!
The machine consists in part of accessible parts that can
easily cause hand injuries through
crushing or getting caught.
—The machine may only be operated with the
protective hood closed.
—During the printing process and the manual
procedure of the building platform, no fingers
or hands may be inserted into the building space
of the machine.

CAUT ION!
Risk of injury due to sharp objects!
The blade of the integrated peel-off device has a sharp
edge that can cause slight hand injuries through direct
contact.
—The blade must never be touched directly on the
cutting edge.
1.5.3 UV radiation
CAUT ION!
Risk of injury from UV radiation!
The printing process, as well as the calibration of the
exposure unit, take place under the influence of UV
radiation. UV radiation can cause eye and skin damage
in the case of very long and direct exposure, as well as
without the wearing of prescribed protective equipment.
—The machine may only be operated with the
protective hood closed.
—During the printing process and manual process of
the building platform, as well as any other work
with and on the 3D printing system, the UV
protective goggles supplied must be worn.
—It is recommended to wear UV protective goggles
whenever working on the machine.
1.5.4 Chemical dangers
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to harmful substances!
The chemical substances required for production and
post-processing can release harmful vapours and cause
dizziness and irritation of the respiratory tract. Direct skin
contact may cause skin
irritation.
—It is necessary to provide sufficient fresh air.
—Wear appropriate protective clothing and carry
out the work with ventilation if necessary.
—Follow the dosing instructions of the respective
manufacturer.
—Read the appropriate safety data sheets carefully.

(→Chapter 12.1).
—Never install the machine in a closed cabinet.
—Keep a minimum distance of 20 cm behind the
machine so that the heat generated can be
dissipated without hindrance.
Environmental conditions
NOTE!
Material damage due to environmental conditions!
Separate environmental conditions may result in property
damage to the machine.
