Important safety instructions

CE conformity information:

The K8200 is a DIY 3D printer kit, it contains all the bits and pieces to construct your own 3D printer but does not contain
additional protection.

As it is a kit and not a nished product, compliance with the CE regulations depends on the build-quality; also the following

notes must be taken into account.

Electrical safety:

The included power supply meets all the applicable European requirements and bears the CE-mark.
It is protected against overload and short circuit and nothing needs to be modied. The working voltage of the 3D printer is
15Vdc (extra low voltage) and therefore it’s outside the scope of the Low voltage directive.

Always unplug before maintenance or modication.

!

Electromagnetic radiation (EMC):

Conductive EMC towards the public distribution network is not an issue as this is related to the power supply.
Radiated EMC depends substantially on the build quality, it might be required to add shielding but this cannot be predicted.

A built K8200 should comply with EN50081 normation

Mechanical safety and protection:

The 3D printer contains a lot of moving parts, but the force of the stepper motors is too low to cause serious injuries. Never-

theless it is recommended to provide additional protection against mechanical risks.

The easiest way to make your 3D printer “accident proof” is to put it inside a protective enclosure which completely covers
the 3D printer – with or without an access door and fume extraction. (numerous designs can be found on the internet)

To make it extra safe a switch which interrupts the power supply of the printer when the enclosure or door is opened can be
added. It is also advisable to install an external emergency stop switch, which also cuts off the power supply.

Providing adequate protection is the responsibility of the assembler.

Always cut power before maintenance or modication.

!

Risk of burns:

There is a potential risk of burns as the Printer head (extruder) can reach up to 270°C.
The use of common sense should be sufcient to prevent burns, but in some environments it is highly recommended to
provide additional protection. (see § Mechanical safety and protection)

The max. temperature of the heated bed is 60°C, this is below the 1 min. burn threshold for plastic surfaces according to
CENELEC Guide 29. Normal reexes prevent long contact periods with hot surfaces

Always let the 3D printer cool down for 60 min. before maintenance or modication.

!

Health:

This printer is designed for use with PLA and ABS lament (MSDS for the Velleman lament is available).

PLA: is a safe and non-toxic material, there are no known health safety risks when used in 3D printers.

ABS: when printing with ABS there is a distinctive ‘burned plastic’ smell. This is quite normal but it may also cause head­aches, respiratory- and eye irritation with sensitive people (although it is not toxic)

Only use the printer in a well-ventilated area, if printing with ABS it is advisable to add a fume hood (with active car-

!

bon ltering for ductless extraction). Fume extraction is mandatory for use in ofces, classrooms and alike.

Never burn printer lament, toxic gasses and vapors will be generated if exposed to re.

General safety information:

The 3D printer is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of
the appliance by a person responsible for their safety

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

The above information is believed to be correct but does not purport to be all inclusive and shall be used only as a guide.

The information in this document was obtained from sources which we believe are reliable.
However, the information is provided without any warranty, express or implied, regarding its correctness.

The conditions or methods used for assembling, handing, storage, use or disposal of the device are beyond our control and

may be beyond our knowledge. For this and other reasons, we do not assume responsibility and expressly disclaim liability

for loss, injuries, damage, or expense arising out of or in any way connected with the assembly, handling, storage, use or
disposal of the product.

Belangrijke veiligheidsinstructies

CE-conformiteitsverklaring:

De K8200 is een bouwkit met 3D-printer en bevat alle benodigde onderdelen om uw eigen 3D-printer te bouwen. Deze

bouwkit bevat geen extra bescherming.

Aangezien dit een kit is en geen afgewerkt product, hangt de conformiteit met de regelgeving voor CE-markering van de
bouwkwaliteit af. Respecteer ook de volgende richtlijnen:

Elektrische veiligheid:

De meegeleverde voeding voldoet aan alle van toepassing zijnde Europese richtlijnen en draagt het CE-keurmerk.
Het toestel is tegen overbelasting en kortsluiting beveiligd en hoeft niet te worden gewijzigd. De werkspanning van de 3D­printer is 15Vcc (zeer lage spanning) en valt bijgevolg niet onder de laagspanningrichtlijn.

Ontkoppel het toestel altijd voor elk onderhoud of vervanging.

!

Elektromagnetische straling (EMC):

Geleidende EMC naar het distributienetwerk vormt geen probleem omdat dit aspect met de voeding verbonden is.

Elektromagnetische stralingen hangen vooral van de bouwkwaliteit af. Misschien hebt u een extra bescherming nodig maar
dit kan men niet op voorhand weten. Een gemonteerde K8200 moet aan de EN50081-normering voldoen.
