2.1. Warnings 

Check if the voltage indicated on the back of the appliance corresponds to the local mains voltage before you conect 

the appliance.

• 

Do not immerse the cord, the plug or the main body in water or any other liquid. This may cause electrical shock.

• 

Do not use the appliance if the plug, the mains cord or the appliance itself is damaged or not operating properly.

• 

If the mains cord is damaged, you must have it replaced in order to avoid hazard.

• 

Connect the appliance to grounded wall sockets only.

• 

Keep the mains cord away from hot surfaces.

• 

Do not let the mains cord hang over the edge of the table or worktop on which the appliance stands.

• 

Keep the appliance and its cord out of the reach of children.

• 

This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and by persons with reduced physical, 

sensory or mental capabilities or a lack of experience and knowledge. These latter persons should be under 

supervision and given adequate instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way, understanding the 

hazards involved. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be performed by children.

• 

Children can receive great educational benefits from designing 3D objects, but the printing process should not 

be done by small children.

• 

Do not touch moving parts or heated elements: you may suffer injuries.

• 

Never reach inside the printer when it is turned on. Different parts of the unit (mainly the extruder and the heated 

build plate) operate at very high temperatures and can cause severe burns.

• 

Never leave the Craftbot 3D printer unattended while it is plugged in, and is in operation.

• 

Make sure that the power supply is switched off and that the power cord is disconnected before servicing. Allow 

at least 5 minutes for the device to cool down after unplugging it before reaching inside to service.

• 

Always turn off the printer and disconnect it from the computer when it is not being used.

• 

Make sure to level the build plate properly before use.

• 

Make sure not to force any parts of the unit, be during unpacking, setup, operation or service.

• 

Service and lubricate the suggested parts as often as recommended. Use only substances recommended by 

CraftUnique.

• 

The Craftbot 3D printer melts plastic during printing. Plastic odors/gases are emitted during this operation. Make 

sure to set up the Craftbot 3D printer in a well-ventilated area.

• 

Do not change or adjust anything on the printer, unless the modification is authorized by the manufacturer.

• 

Do not store items in the printer.
