• This printer must only be used at the specified voltage, or it may be damaged,
with a risk of fire
• Do not touch the nozzle or the platform with any part of the body while the
printer is working, or immediately after it has finished printing
• If printing with ABS, operate in a well-ventilated but draught-free room, and keep
away from other heat sources. ABS can catch fire and, when burnt, produces a
thick black smoke that is toxic if inhaled
• Always have adult supervision when children are present. Store all small
3D printed parts at a suitable height and away from young children, as they
represent choking hazards
• Tie back long hair and avoid loose clothing when operating the printer
• Protect the printer from exposure to rain or any other water source
• To ensure fault-free operation, store the printer at an ambient temperature in the
range of 15–30°C.
• Store the printer in a location with humidity in the range of 20–50%.
