A. Security Considerations
To avoid danger when using 3D printer , please pay attention to precautions below .
Danger
During Operation , the maximum temeprature of nozzle can be 260 while hotbed can be 100 . For your safety , during printing or cooling down , do not touch the nozzle , hotbed and models under printing . Power works at 110V/220V 50HZ AC and supply ground needed . Do not use other power supply , or it may cause components damage , fire or electric shock . And we take no responsibility for this .
Warning We suggest wering protective goggles when removing auxiliary support materials . Some filaments will emit slight irritant gases , so we suggest to use 3D printer in a ventilated environment . Note: ABS filament will emit a bit toxic gases when it melts .
