Component and subsystem safety
3.1.1
General
The Fuse Sift requires a 230 VAC (50 Hz), 7.5 A power supply (EU) or 120 VAC (60 Hz),
15 A power supply (US) for nominal operation. Unless explicitly instructed by Formlabs
Support or a certified service provider, do not disassemble or tamper with the
product beyond what is explicitly outlined for typical maintenance. Tampering with,
or disassembling the Fuse Sift prior to disconnecting the power cable and waiting
approximately ten minutes can subject users to potentially fatal electrical hazards.
The Fuse 1’s print enclosure is designed to operate at up to 200 °C (392 °F) and
incorporates high-intensity heaters. Do not open the print enclosure or any other
access doors on the printer during or immediately after a print. Do not handle parts
from a build chamber without allowing the entire print enclosure to cool for several
hours, or until the build chamber temperature has reached ≤ 100 ºC (212 °F). Use
the provided thermal-insulating silicone gloves when handling a hot build chamber.
Failure to follow these procedures will result in serious injuries, including burning and/
or scalding of skin.
Due to its size and weight, do not move or reposition the Fuse Sift alone. If the machine
needs to be moved, at least two individuals should unlock the casters and push the
entire unit by the metal frame. Avoid using the workspace hood as a push-off point.
Do not lift or reposition the Fuse Sift:
• By grabbing or pulling on the workspace hood, workspace lip, build chamber
enclosure, build chamber latch, or power cable.
• By pushing on any side of the unit while stationary.
• When the build chamber that is still hot inside is loaded in the build chamber
enclosure.
The Fuse Sift requires an operating environment that is low in ambient humidity and
static electricity. Refer to section 4.1 Location and environs for the recommended
operating environs. When performing maintenance or testing with the exterior
paneling of the machine removed, ground equipment to the grounding stud marked
with this protective earth symbol.
3.1.2
Vacuum
A typical Fuse Sift operation requires the use of a compliant vacuum that is grounded
and bonded, such as a Class II, Division 2 vacuum, which typically utilizes disposable
bags for collecting debris. Formlabs recommends that Fuse Sift operators regularly
check the accumulation of debris inside the vacuum’s collection chamber.
