Flammability and Combustibility: Do not expose print material to heat (at or above 110°C/ 230°F), flames, sparks, or any source of
ignition. (Though the U.S. Department of Transportation does not consider this material a "flammability hazard," they do classify it as
combustible based on their flash points.) For more information on VisiJet® Material flash points and combustibility, see the VisiJet®
Material MSDS/SDS packaged with the material cartridge .
Health Hazards: Any chemical may exert harmful effects if it enters or contacts the body in sufficient quantities. Uncured material is a
sensitizer, and can cause allergic reactions if it comes in contact with the skin . Always wear chemically resistant protective gloves, nitrile
or neoprene gloves are recommended. DO NOT use latex gloves. Consult the MSDS for specific information about the sensitization
potential .
Sensitization dermatitis is the result of an allergic reaction to a given substance . In some cases, direct skin contact is necessary to
cause sensitization. It is possible for individuals to become sensitized to a substance even after a trouble-free period of exposure. Many
factors affect a person's susceptibility including: existing skin conditions, personal habits, and individual sensitivity. Even slight exposure
can sometimes trigger a severe outbreak of dermatitis . Since sensitization is permanent, a sensitized individual should avoid further
contact with the sensitizing agent .
Inhalation: Under normal operation, inhalation is not an expected exposure method. To ensure personal safety, uncured print material
should not be present where food and drink are stored, prepared or consumed . As a precaution, after handling material, wash hands
with soap and water before handling food . Finished parts (cured) can be handled or disposed of in the same manner as standard
household plastic products . These parts are not recyclable .
Exposure Control: The printer has a variety of built-in safety features that are designed to prevent operator exposure. Do not try to
change or disable these features .
Personal Protective Equipment and Skin Protection: Exposure to uncured material may occur when removing and disposing spent print
cartridges . To prevent contact, wear chemically resistant protective gloves - nitrile or neoprene gloves are recommended . Wear safety
glasses with side shields to provide eye protection in the event of a leak or spill of uncured print material .
Respiratory Protection: Because of the printer's built in controls, respiratory protection is not necessary during normal operation . The
status screen in the client software will prompt the user to change the printer's air filters at prescribed times. Individual use may vary
depending on the run time of the modeler . A NIOSH-approved (or equivalent) dust mask is recommended when dry sanding cured
parts .

FTX Green Material Usage
®
The VisiJet FTX Green Material batch number and date code is indicated on the material kit label . For best results, please use materials
by the date indicated . Before removing cartridge from its protective poly bag, and before loading it in to the printer, inspect the cartridge
for signs of leakage or physical damage . Do not load cartridge that is leaking or is damaged . Dispose of it according to your local
regulations .
ULTRAVIOLET (UV) SAFETY
CAUTION: Ultraviolet (UV) Safety
•
In normal operation, the ultraviolet (UV) light is completely confined, so users are not exposed to potentially harmful emitted
radiation .
•
UV light from the printer could cause personal injury. Use recommended protective eye wear which blocks the UV light. It is
recommended to never purposely stare directly into the printer during operation .
•
To prevent eye injury, do not open the door when the ultraviolet (UV) light is activated. When the door are closed, it keeps UV
radiation from escaping .
•
Pay attention and follow the warnings contained in this guide concerning operation and printer's maintenance procedures .
•
If the door is opened during operation, use the recommended protective eye wear which blocks the UV light .
•
Hazardous voltage exists inside the electrical module. Injury or death from electrical shock can result if system's electrical box
covers are removed . When installing replacement modules, ensure power is off before removing panels .
