Printer Safety Warnings

WARNING	Risk of electric shock: Disconnect power before servicing the printer.
WARNING	Risk of electric shock: Make sure all conducting components are in good order and condition. The switch cabinet may be opened by trained and authorized service personnel only. Do not try to set up the printer yourself. Have the printer set up by trained and authorized service personnel only.
WARNING	Risk of UV radiation hazard: Never look directly into the projectors beam. Looking into the projector with unprotected eyes may cause injury. Use protective goggles and wear safety gloves when working with the printer.
WARNING	Risk of injury: The use of the materials intended for the printer may cause risks to the health and safety of the operator or third persons. To ensure safe handling of the materials, the hazard and precautionary statements must be observed.
WARNING	Risk of electric shock: Connect the printer to a grounded outlet. Only use the plug and socket type for the country of intended use of the printer.
CAUTION	Risk of hand crushing caused by automatically moving printer parts: Always keep the hood closed when operating the printer. The printer may only be operated if the protecting devices are working properly. The printer may only be operated by specially trained personnel. Only execute the calibration tasks described in the Operations and Maintenance Guide. For the remaining tasks, have the printer calibrated by trained and authorized service personnel only.
CAUTION	Risk of injury: Printer overturning during transportation can cause injury. Do not try to move the printer yourself. Have the printer transported by trained personnel only.
CAUTION	Burn hazard: Some parts printer may be hot. Allow printer to cool down before touching any parts with burn hazard signs.
CAUTION	Risk of injury caused by improper handling of the build platform: Before taking the build platform out, make sure that all persons are clear of the danger zone.
CAUTION	Risk of injury:Avoid unnecessary movements. Avoid non-ergonomic joint positions.
CAUTION	Risk of injury: Risk for the operator to slip, stumble or fall. Keep the floor of the printer area clear of loose cables, objects, or liquids.
CAUTION	Burn hazard: Touching the hot light source might result in severe burns. Use heat-resistant protective gloves. Only authorized, trained personnel may touch the light source.
CAUTION	Risk of injury: Protection hood must always be closed, except when removing models from the printer. After the models are removed, close the hood on the printer.
CAUTION	Risk of injury from crushing caused by moving printer parts: Printer may only be operated by instructed and specially trained personnel. The printer may only be operated if the protecting devices are working properly.
CAUTION	Risk of injury: Use the appropriate personal protective equipment: protective gloves, safety boots, laboratory coats, safety goggles, and dust mask during post-processing.
CAUTION	Risk of injury: Do not use materials other than the materials branded or manufactured or qualified for use by Desktop Health®. Observe the relevant Material Safety Data Sheets for the materials. Use the appropriate personal protective equipment.
CAUTION	Risk of injury: As handling chemicals puts you at risk of coming into contact with corrosive chemicals, being burnt, inhaling poisonous vapors, etc., always put on suitable protective clothing (gloves, protective goggles) before working with construction substances. Take utmost care to avoid getting any chemicals in your eyes or breathing the chemical vapors in. Always wash your hands thoroughly afterwards with soap and water. Don't use Isopropyl alcohol to wash your hands if come in contact with materials. Be careful not to spill chemicals.
CAUTION	Risk of injury: Crushing caused by automatically moving printer parts. Body parts may be crushed by movements of the build platform. The printer may only be operated if the protecting devices are working properly.
CAUTION	Risk of injury: Always wear nitrile gloves when handling the material tray.
CAUTION	Risk of injury: Maintain a healthy posture. Instruct the personnel to follow the principles of ergonomics.
NOTICE	The printer may only be used for the intended purposes. The printer may only be operated if in a flawless state in terms of technical safety.
NOTICE	When working with materials, observe the instructions regarding personal protective equipment in the relevant Material Safety Data Sheets.
NOTICE	The printer must be positioned on a flat and even surface to prevent the printer from moving. Check the horizontal orientation of the printer at regular intervals. This can be done by use of a spirit level placed on the build platform. If the printer is not levelled any more, e. g. if it has suffered an impact, have the printer repositioned by trained and authorized service personnel.
NOTICE	Incorrect positioning of the printer can cause damage to the printer and/or to the printed models. Please, follow the guidelines.
NOTICE	Ensure that you put the RFID material tag into the material tag reader. Failure to do so can result in damage to the RFID material tag and material tag reader.
NOTICE	Do not try to touch or open anything on the screen before the Controller Software has finished booting. This can cause damage to the files on the printer.
NOTICE	Always remove the build platform before taking the material tray out of the printer! Failure to do so can result in material dripping down into the safety glass causing failed builds and ruined equipment.
NOTICE	Use a different material tray for each kind of material to avoid contamination. If not possible, clean the material tray carefully and thoroughly.
NOTICE	Improper use of the remote printer control over local network using VNC software may lead to damage. Use the remote printer control with great attention. Do not use the remote printer control without an operator next to printer. The printer owner is responsible for any unsafe operation of the printer using the remote printer control.
NOTICE	Do not turn the printer off during software update.
NOTICE	Make sure that during calibration your material tray does not contain material in it. Material residue in the material tray during the calibration will give a false reading to the sensors.
NOTICE	Always remove the platform before taking the material tray out of the printer. Failure to do so can result in material dripping down into or onto the printer causing failed builds and damaged equipment.
NOTICE	Checking the printer ensures the highest quality of printed models and minimizes the risk of errors or printer malfunctioning.
NOTICE	Make sure the build platform is clean and the material tray is in place and has material in it before starting a print. Failure to do so will result in failed builds and damage to the equipment.
NOTICE	Carry out the maintenance tasks according to the maintenance schedule in the User Manual and the intervals specified therein.
NOTICE	Use 99% IPA away from the material tray and thoroughly wipe all IPA completely from the build platform before installing it back onto the printer.
NOTICE	Always clean the material tray each time you need to change the material for printing parts on the printer.
NOTICE	Do not pour material from your material tray into the bottle it came from. This can potentially contaminate the whole bottle of material and ruin it.
NOTICE	Use only authorized chemicals inside the material tray. Non authorized chemicals will contaminate and ruin any material you put into the material tray.
NOTICE	All emergency stopping devices and protection doors must be checked one by one and separately. In case of defective safety equipment, shut the printer down immediately and secure it against being switched on again.
