Printing Materials - Stratasys J850 Manual

Vapors from printing materials can be irritating to the respiratory system. If
respiratory irritation occurs, expose the victim to fresh air immediately.
➢ If the victim has stopped breathing, perform artificial respiration or
cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
➢ Seek medical attention immediately.
➢ Keep the victim warm but not hot.
➢ Never feed anything to an unconscious person.
➢ Oxygen should be administered by authorized personnel only.
Fully cured printed models can be disposed of as ordinary office trash.
However, special care is required when handling printer waste (uncured
printing material).
➢ When removing the waste container from the printer, wear neoprene or
nitrile gloves.
➢ To prevent liquid waste from splashing into the eyes, wear safety goggles.
➢ Liquid waste from the printer is classified as hazardous industrial waste.
Therefore, printing-material waste must be packaged and disposed of in a
manner that prevents human contact with it and contamination of water
sources.
➢ Empty Model-material and Support-material cartridges contain residue of
their contents. Some leakage of this residue may occur through the broken
cartridge seal. Therefore, handle and store empty cartridges with care.
➢ Do not attempt to reuse empty cartridges, and do not puncture them.
➢ Dispose of used cartridges and waste containers in accordance with local
regulations.
➢ Discard contaminated clothing, shoes, empty containers, etc., in
accordance with any applicable regulations.
UV lamps used by the printer to cure printing materials contain a small
amount of mercury, and are considered "Universal Waste." Recycle or discard
used lamps in accordance with applicable regulations.
Broken lamps:
After ventilating the area, use protective gloves and carefully remove spilled
mercury with a method that prevents the generation of mercury vapor, such
as a syringe, packing tape or paper. Place the broken lamp, mercury and
contaminated materials in an air-tight, non-metallic container. Dispose of the
container in accordance with applicable regulations.
