Stratasys 3D printers are designed to comply with CE and FCC
standards. They are equipped with the following safety features:
The power supplied to the UV lamp(s), the tray heater and the
motion motors is turned off when the cover is opened.
Warning
Do not defeat (override) the interlock switch. Doing so could
result in serious personal injury. If the interlock switch does not
function correctly, do not use the printer, and contact your service
provider.
The cover is locked while the printer is working. If you do
manage to lift it, the UV lamps and the motion motors turn off.
Warning
Do not defeat (override) the safety lock. Doing so could result
in serious personal injury. If the safety lock does not function
correctly, do not use the printer, and contact your service provider.
The transparent section of the cover blocks harmful UV
radiation, allowing the operator to view the model as it is being
made.
