All SLS equipment is designed with safety in
mind. However, improper use, malfunctions, and
excessive exposure could cause injury.
Follow these general safety guidelines when
operating any SLS equipment:
Training and Instructions
`
Do not operate any SLS equipment before
receiving proper training.
`
Read and follow all operating instructions.
`
Follow all safety rules in this section and heed
all hazard warnings in this guide.
`
Do not try to do any equipment maintenance
procedures you were not trained to do.
• Operators are trained to operate the
system and perform all the necessary tasks
to print a part.
• Certified service personnel are those
who have completed the 3D Systems
service training package and are certified
to perform service tasks. Certification may
occur at various levels, and servicers
should only perform tasks they are
authorized and certified to complete.
Machine Handling
`
Do not try to access, service, or adjust any
components inside any SLS equipment
enclosure.
`
Do not try to open any panel or door while a
machine is running.
`
Do not access any area of the machine near
the process chamber high-temperature-
material builds.
`
Use special caution when handling a heated
RCM and when dealing with the heated, inert
environment inside the SLS system’s process
chamber. Take note of all thermal hazard
warning labels on the machines.
`
Always disconnect the RCM cable before
moving the RCM out of the SLS system or
BOS .
`
To prevent crush injuries to the body, use
extra caution when rolling the
RCM into and
out of the SLS system and BOS , and when
closing the BOS overhead door. Take note of
all crush hazard warning labels on the
machines.
