working around moving components of the system.
Beneath the top lid of the system is the XY Gantry. This area houses the
mechanical drive components of the X and Y axes. Use extreme caution
whenever accessing this area of the system. The servo drive system,
including the motors, pulleys and belts are extremely powerful, and care
must be taken.

opened. The XY pinch hazard between the timing belts and pulleys is
minimized by locking the hood while building and disabling the motors
when the top hood is open.
