SAFETY WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES
Do not reach inside the printer during operation. Always allow the printer and extruded filament to cool before reaching inside. Take care to avoid touching hot parts, including heat blocks, extruder nozzle,
extruded filament, and the heated bed.
Do not wear gloves when operating or repairing to avoid entanglement. Keep the printer and all accessories out of reach of children. Do not remove or disconnect the USB cable when printing from a computer. Do not force or tear anything when unpacking and during setup. This may cause
damage to the printer and/or its accessories.
Ensure that the printer is turned off and unplugged from its power source before
making repairs or performing service.

Never unplug the unit by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the connector
head or adapter body.
Use only in a well-ventilated area. Do not use in close, confined spaces. Take care when using the scraper to remove a model. Never direct the scraper at
your fingers or body.
The printer is designed to operate with an ambient temperature ranging from +59°F
(+15°C) to +86°F (+30°C), with a relative humidity from 20-50%. Printing outside
these limits may result in low quality prints.
Use eye protection when cleaning or sanding the printed models to avoid getting
small particles in your eyes.
