connect the printer to a different power supply, it may cause malfunction or damage to the
printer.
4. Place the power cord so you can’t stumble on it, or step on it or otherwise expose to any
damage. Make sure that the power cord is not mechanically or otherwise damaged. Stop
using damaged cable immediately and replace it.
5. When you disconnect the power cord from the socket, pull the plug rather than the cord to
reduce the risk of damage to plug or AC outlet.

repaired by unskilled worker. All repairs must be provided by a qualified technician.

that the temperature of the nozzle is 210260 °C; heatbed temperature can reach over 100
°C. Temperatures above 40 °C can cause harm to human body.
8. Prevent children from unsupervised access to the printer even when the printer is not
printing.
