14. INFORMATION ON SUPPLIES
- When working with the polyamide powder or other designated printer powder for the
SINTERIT LISA printer always wear protective kit attached to the above-mentioned
device (glasses, gloves, dust mask).
WARNING!
When working with a polyamide powder, avoid inhalation or swallowing and
contact with skin and eyes.
If the PA powder is inhaled, move to a place with fresh air and gargle

affect the health of users. However, in the case of long-term operation of the printer in
a poorly ventilated room, the smell may become unpleasant and irritating. Adequate
ventilation is recommended in order to create the best printing conditions.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to burn/melt polyamide powder. The resulting sparks
and hot mass, the powder is converted into can cause severe burns.
Keep the polyamide powder away from fire.
STOP!
Do not dispose in municipal waste! The used polyamide powder should be
stored in sealed containers and disposed in accordance with local policy of
waste plastic material.
