supplied with the product.

596806-01 User Manual v

TRANSPORTATION AND INSTALLATION:

At least two persons are requested for transporting the 3D printer. The weight of the printer with packing is

approximately 31 Kg.

Personnel charged with handling the shipment must wear safety gloves.

When lifting or moving the 3D printer, or any of its parts, first make sure that the operating area is completely

clear, leaving also a sufficiently large safety area around it to avoid damaging persons or objects that could come

within the area for manoeuvring the load.

Note: conserve the original product packaging in case you will need it for shipping the product in the future.

Observe the following instructions:

 the printer must be placed on a flat stable surface (not supplied with the printer) of sufficient load-bearing

capacity to support its weight, and at a minimum floor height of 60 cm.

 fans are provided for cooling the electronic parts. Make sure there is sufficient free space around the printer

to allow adequate air circulation for ventilation. You must leave a distance of at least 60 cm from walls or

other objects.

 do not position the printer near sources of heat, water or other freely moving liquids.

 do not expose the printer to dust, rain, humidity or vapour.

 the operating environment temperature must be maintained at 20°C approximately.

 by law the equipment must be grounded; use exclusively the power cord provided with the product without

extension cords.

 to protect the printer during transportation, the print carriage is locked into position with strapping tape: before

starting to print cut and remove this tape.

USE

 The 3D IoT printer is not suitable for use by persons under 14 years of age, and anyway always under the

direct supervision of an adult. Make sure that children do not tamper or play with the equipment.

 The printer is intended for use by operators who have received adequate training.

 Use the power supply voltage indicated in the technical specifications. The power cord must never be pulled,

subjected to weights or brought into contact with sharp objects.

 Do not touch the equipment with parts of the body that are wet; footwear must always be worn.

 Do not smoke, use naked flames or create sparks in the vicinity of the printer.

 If the printer malfunctions or fails, do not attempt to use it again until it has been repaired.

 When the 3D IoT printer is functioning, certain parts generate high temperatures (printhead, heated table if

present); there are also moving parts which could cause injury if touched accidentally during operation. You

must therefore observe the following warnings carefully:

 Whenever any operation is carried out on the printer - whether for installation or maintenance purposes

- always first switch off and disconnect the equipment from the electrical socket. Before proceeding,

wait for all parts that may have become heated during the previous operation to cool down.

 The machine must be used exclusively with the front door closed; printing IS NOT interrupted

automatically when the front door is opened, therefore this instruction must be observed with maximum

attention.

 The front door is fitted with a lock and key to prevent unauthorised access.

 The key must be conserved in a safe place by those responsible for its safe-keeping.

vi User Manual 596806-01

 The heated parts must be left to cool for a certain length of time at the end of printing or when printing

is interrupted: leave the machine to cool down (approx. 5 minutes) before attempting to access the

printing area. It is good practice to check that the machine temperature shown on the front display (of

printhead and, if heated, table) is less than 40°C before attempting any interventions. Do not touch the

printhead as it may be very hot after use.

 Do not wear rings, wristwatches, jewellery or loose/baggy clothing, such as scarves, unbuttoned jackets

or tops with open zips, that could become entangled in the moving parts. Keep hair tied back.

 Do not insert your hands between the moving parts.

 Do not use the printer for a different purpose to that for which it is designed, as specified in the User

Manual.

 Do not attempt to clean the printer while it is in operation. Clean the outside of the printer only using a

soft cloth, without the use of corrosive chemical products, solvents or strong detergents, and only after

having disconnected the printer from all external power supplies and other cables.

 It is advised not to leave the printer unsupervised during printing

 Make sure that the room where the printer is installed is well ventilated.

 Before launching a print job make sure that no objects or scrap materials are left inside the printer (such

as lacquer, rags, maintenance tools, materials removed manually,..).

 Exercise the greatest care when removing the worked piece from the glass table using sharp or pointed

objects to avoid injuring yourself in the process. Use of knives or cutters for removing worked pieces

from the glass table is strongly discouraged, even in the case of small pieces.

Although the glass is tempered it is still fragile and great care must be taken when handling it.

 If required, clean or change the print nozzle. The extruder must be hot to allow the residual material

inside the head to soften and not create an obstruction during replacement procedures : for all

operations always wear heat protection gloves.

596806-01 User Manual vii

MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS SAFETY STANDARDS

Printer maintenance must be carried out exclusively by adequately trained personnel.

The principal rules to follow when carrying out maintenance operations on the printer are:

 Before carrying out any interventions on the printer, make sure that it is in a safe condition.

 Do not wear rings, wristwatches, jewellery or loose/baggy clothing, such as scarves, unbuttoned jackets or

tops with open zips, that could become entangled in the moving parts. Keep hair tied back.

 Do not touch the equipment with wet body parts and never without shoes.

 Do not use naked flames or pointed/sharp instruments for cleaning purposes.

 Do not smoke.

 Do not insert hands between moving parts.

 When carrying out printer installation or maintenance operations, always switch off and disconnect the printer

from the electrical socket. Wait for all parts heated during the preceding operation to cool down. Leave the

machine to cool (approx. 5 minutes) before attempting to access the printing area. It is a good rule to check

that the machine temperature on the front display (of printhead and, if heated, the table) is under 40°C before

attempting any interventions. Do not touch the printhead as it could be very hot after operation.

 If necessary, clean or replace the print nozzle. The extruder must be hot to allow the residual material inside

the head to soften and not create obstructions during replacement operations: when operating always

wear safety gloves for heat protection

 Switch on the printer only when necessary and following the instructions in the Manual, remembering to

proceed always with maximum care

 Do not attempt to clean the printer while it is functioning. Clean the outside of the printer with a soft cloth and

without using corrosive chemical products, solvents or other strong detergents. Before any cleaning

operation, disconnect the printer from all external power supplies and any connected cables.

 Be very careful when attempting to remove the printed object from the glass table using sharp or pointed

objects to avoid injuring yourself in the process. Use of knives or cutters for removing items from the glass

table is strongly discouraged, even in the case of small objects.

Although the glass is tempered it is still fragile so always be very careful when handling it.

 At the end of servicing operations, make sure that you remove any tools or rags used from inside the printer

and eliminate all accumulated residues

 When you finish servicing operations, return the door key to the person responsible for its safe-keeping.
