1. Work Environment and Safety
Keep your workplace tidy. Do not operate the 3D Printer in the presence of flammable liquids, gas or dust.
The printer should be placed out of the reach of children or pets.
Only operate your 3D printer in room temperatures of 5-30℃ with an ambient humidity between 20%-70%
2. Electrical Safety
● Always use a properly grounded outlet and the cable provided to prevent damage to your printer.
● Please unplug the 3D Printer if it will not be in use for a while.
● Do not use outdoors, indoor use only.
● Always keep the printer in a dry environment and out of direct sunlight.
● Do not use the 3D Printer during thunderstorms.
3. Personal Safety
● Do keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
● Do not operate the 3D Printer while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
● Parts of the 3D printer will get very hot during use, Do not touch the nozzle, hot end assembly or the build plate when the printer
is warming up, printing or cooling down.
● Ensure you keep others, especially children and pets away from the printer.
04
4. CAUTION!
● Do not leave the 3D Printer unattended.
● Do not make any modifications to the printer other than any approved SainSmart upgrades.
● When removing a model be careful not to use excessive force.
● The 3D printer must only be operated in a well ventilated area, noxious gasses can be released.
● Do not exceed the maximum print temperature of your printer or the filament you are using.
● When loading or unloading filament make sure the printer nozzle is well clear of the build plate (>50mm).
5. Filament and storage
● Follow any recommendations of your filament manufacturer.
● Do not use your printer to make anything that will come into contact with food unless specifically allowed by the filament manufacturer.
● Filament should be stored in clean and dry conditions. Filaments will absorb moisture and degrade over time if not kept dry.
● Do not open the filament from it’s sealed package until it is needed.
