SAFETY GUIDELINES
General
The 3D printer system is designed with built in safety features, improper use can cause injury to personnel .
Follow these safety guidelines when operating the printer:
• Read and follow all 3D printer system instructions .
• Follow all safety rules and heed all cautions and warnings in this guide .
• Do not attempt to open chamber door while print in progress .
• Do not use any material without reviewing the Global Harmonized Standards/Safety Data Sheet (GHS/SDS) .
• Dress power and communication cables behind printer to prevent tripping .
• Do not attempt to access, service, or adjust printer components . Do not attempt to perform any maintenance procedures unless
specifically trained to do so.
•
Certified service personnel are those who completed the 3D Systems service training package and are certified to perform service
tasks. Certification may occur at different levels, and service providers should only perform tasks they are authorized and certified
to complete .
• Do not ignore warning signs posted during 3D printer system service operations .
• If an error message appears on the 3D printer system’s LCD refer to “Error Messages” within this guide before resuming operation .
• To prevent potential skin-irritation and sensitization due to contact with waste material, follow all guidelines within Part Material
Safety .
Electrical
DANGER: Hazardous voltage exists inside the 3D printer system . Injury or death from electrical shock can result if you
remove the 3D printer system’s external panels. Panels should only be removed for service by trained and certified 3D
Systems Customer Support Engineers or your certified service reseller.
Ultraviolet (UV) Light
UV RADIATION HAZARD: Invisible UV radiation is accessible in the vicinity of this sign or behind the panel . Radiation
can cause eye injury or blindness, burn injury and/or fire. Access panels are for service only and should be opened
only by certified service personnel.
To prevent eye injury, ultraviolet (UV) light inside the chamber will not operate when chamber door is open . When
closed, the chamber door keeps UV radiation from escaping . The chamber door remains locked if print job is paused .
PART MATERIAL SAFETY
When using the 3D printer system, you should be informed of potential hazards of part material prior to using the printer systems, or
performing duties which may result in exposure to uncured part material, such as, removal of material waste bag and handling empty
material cartridges .
Always wear nitrile gloves when handling part material that is uncured and not totally solidified.
