• Use only the original power cord or one authorized by the manufacturer. It must not
be destroyed, cut or repaired. Replace a damaged cable immediately with a new one.
• Perform repair and maintenance work on the device when it is disconnected from the
power supply.
• Do not expose the device to moisture or modify electronic components (e.g. solder-
ing).
2.4 Safety and mechanical risks
The device includes moving parts such as toothed belts, gears, motors, toolheads and
a worktable. In order to ensure maximum safety for the operator and the device follow
these precautions:
• Do not reach inside the unit or insert any foreign objects while the unit is during oper-
ation.
• Use the accessories supplied with the unit for their intended purpose and take special
care when handling them. Their improper use may cause personal injury.
• Special care must be taken when removing the printout from the worktable and pro-
tective glasses should be worn, as there is a risk of fragments of the material scatter-
ing towards the eyes.
2.5 Risk of burns
There is a high risk of burns, as the temperature of the extruder can be as high as 250°C.
Do not touch the toolhead with bare hands and use caution when operating hot compo-
nents. If it is necessary to hold a hot item, use specially adapted pliers and/or tweezers.
The hot components should not take more than 30 minutes to cool down. The tem-
perature of the worktable can reach even 125°C, therefore, special care should be taken
during use, in particular when performing operations or removing the finished printout.
Do not underestimate the risk of burns on the device. In addition, design modifications
to the device with respect to changes in operating temperature are not permitted, as
they may result in serious injury or permanent damage to the printer.
