ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)
This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user
may be required to take adequate measures.
The Ultimaker 2+ can in very rare cases temporarily loose display function caused by ESD. Display function can be fully
restored by turning the machine off and then on again.
The EMC test report of the Ultimaker 2+ is available on request at
.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The Ultimaker 2+ operates on 24 volts (Extra-low-voltage) and is therefore outside the scope of the low-voltage
directive. The power supply meets all CE mark regulations and is protected against short-circuit, overload, overvoltage
and overtemperature. For more information concerning electrical safety aspects, please refer to the Mean Well
EC-Conformity Declaration for the GS220AX power adapters. Only use the Ultimaker 2+ with power supplies and
cables supplied by Ultimaker B.V.
MECHANICAL SAFETY
The Ultimaker 2+ contains many moving parts, but the stepper motors do not have enough power to cause serious
injuries and the moving gears have been covered. Still, it is advised to only reach in the machine when it is turned off.
RISK OF BURNS
There is a potential risk of burns, as the print head can reach temperatures of up to 260°C and the heated bed can
reach temperatures of up to 120°C. The nozzle of the print head is mostly surrounded by an aluminum cover to prevent
contact, but we still advise against reaching into the machine when the print head and/or heated bed are hot.
Always let the printer cool down for at least 30 minutes before performing maintenance or modifications.
HEALTH
The Ultimaker 2+ is designed to print with PLA and ABS filaments. The use of other materials is at your own risk.
When printing with ABS, small concentrations of Styrene vapor can be released. In some cases, this can cause
headaches, fatigue, dizziness, confusion, drowsiness, malaise, difficulty in concentrating, and a feeling of intoxication.
Therefore good ventilation is required, and long term exposure should be avoided. It is advisable to use a fume hood
with active carbon filtering for ductless extraction. Fume extraction is mandatory for use in offices, classrooms, etc.
Printing with pure PLA is considered safe, although good ventilation is still advised for possible unknown vapors
released from coloring dyes in colored PLA.
Only use your printer in a well-ventilated area.
