2.7 Working with powders

ATTENTION!
Health risk!
• When working with the polyamide powder or other designated
printer powder for the Sinterit Lisa X printer, always wear personal
protection dedicated to this device (protective glasses, protective
gloves, protective dust mask).
• Inhalation of the dust can cause serious lung problems. To prevent
dust from being inhaled or swallowed at all times, always wear a
dust mask.
• When working with powder, avoid inhalation or swallowing and
contact with skin and eyes.
• The operator must always wear antistatic shoes.
ATTENTION!
When printing the smell of melting material may be emitted in intensities which do not affect the
health of users. However, in the case of long-term operation of the printer in a poorly ventilated
room, the smell may become unpleasant and irritating. Adequate ventilation is recommended in
order to create the best printing conditions.
STOP!
Do not attempt to burn/melt polyamide powder. The resulting sparks
and hot mass can cause severe burns. Keep the powder material away
from fire.
STOP!
Do not dispose of municipal waste!
The used powder material should be stored in sealed containers and
disposed of following the local policy of waste plastic material.
