The arrow symbol indicates special tips and operating information.
General information on the 3D printer
A 3D printer is a highly complex device in which many parameters must be set
of the printed object and surface properties of the build bed.
role in the quality and adhesion of the printed object.
For the above reasons, it is not possible to reach high-quality print results at
once and without previous experiments.
Change the adjustable parameters in small steps for the best printing results
for your application. The printing examples enclosed on the SD card provide
parameters.
Safety Instructions
Please read the operating instructions carefully and pay particular attention
to the safety instructions. We do not assume liability for injuries/material
damages resulting from failure to observe the safety instructions and the
information in these operating instructions regarding the proper handling of
the product. Furthermore, in such cases, the warranty/guarantee will be null
and void.
a) General information
•
For safety reasons, any unauthorized conversions and/or
to the
product deviating from these operating instructions are not permitted. Components
may be damaged and thus impair the function or safety of the device.
•
All persons who operate this product, mount, put it into operation or service it
must be trained and
accordingly and must observe these operating
instructions.
•
The 3D printer is not suitable for persons with physical, sensor or mental limitations
or for inexperienced or uninformed persons.
•
This product is not a toy and not suitable for children. Children cannot judge the
dangers involved when handling electrical devices.
•
The mechanical parts of the product are produced highly precisely. Never apply
any mechanical force here. The 3D printer may be rendered useless by this.
•
Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. This may become
dangerous playing material for children.
•
Attention, LED light:

•
Maintenance,
and repairs must only be completed by a technician
or an authorised repair centre.
•
If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions,
contact our technical support service or other technical personnel.
b) Set-Up, Site of Operation
•
Set up the 3D printer only on a stable, horizontal,
sized surface.
•
Choose the site of operation so that children cannot reach the product.
•
When setting up the 3D printer, observe that the mains plug of the mains unit
must be easy to reach so that the device can be separated from the mains voltage
quickly and easily in case of malfunction.
•
The devices must not be exposed to any extreme temperatures, strong vibrations,
high moisture, such as rain or steam or strong mechanical strain.
•
Never place containers containing liquids, e.g. glasses, vases, etc. on the device
or in its vicinity and do not pour any liquids out over the device. Liquids may get
into the housing and impair electrical safety. This also poses great danger of
or potentially fatal electric shock!
If this is the case,
power down the respective mains socket on all poles (e.g.
switch off circuit breaker and FI switch) and then pull the mains cable from the
socket. Disconnect all lines from the device. Do not operate any part of the product
anymore afterwards but take it to a specialist workshop.
•
Never place any sources of open
such as lit candles, on or right next to the
device.
•
Make sure that the power cord is not squeezed, bent or damaged by sharp edges
when the product is installed.
c) Connecting
•
This device is a safety class I product. The only permissible voltage source is a
properly grounded mains socket (100 - 240 V, 50 - 60 Hz) of the public mains.
•
The wall socket to which the 3D printer is connected must be near the machine and
easily accessible. This allows the machine to be quickly and easily disconnected
from the mains power supply in the event of a fault.
•
Never touch the mains plug with wet or damp hands. There is a risk of potentially
fatal electric shock!
•
Never disconnect the mains cable from the mains socket by pulling on the cable,
but by pulling on the gripping surfaces of the plug.
•
For safety reasons, disconnect the product from the power supply during a
thunderstorm. Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
d) Operation
•
Never reach into the 3D printer in operation. The mechanically moved parts within
the printer pose a high risk of injury!
•
The nozzle and heating plate may become very hot during use. Never touch these
parts during or shortly after use. Allow them to cool down for approximately 60
minutes.
•
Disconnect the device from the mains before maintenance work or
(unplug the mains plug) and let it cool down.
•
In operation, there will be noise and, depending on the
material used,
smells. Observe this when selecting the site of setup and the
material.
Ensure
ventilation or install an extraction system. Do not inhale arising
vapours. When using any other than the recommended
material,
poisonous vapours or gases may develop.
•
Do not touch the mains cable if it is damaged. Power down the respective mains
socket (e.g. via the circuit breaker) and then carefully unplug the mains plug from
the mains socket. Never use the product if the mains cable is damaged.
•
Never operate the device unattended.
•
Only operate the device in moderate climates, never in tropical climates.
Disposal
Electronic devices are recyclable waste and must not be placed in household waste. At the end
of its service life, dispose of the product according to the relevant statutory regulations.
