USE NOTES AND IMPORTANT SAFETY ITEMS
During printing do not touch the power line, USB data line, or pull out
the SD card. Otherwise the printing process will be interrupted.
To avoid nozzle clogging, do not heat long time when it is not in
extruding condition.
When debugging, the nozzle will extrude filament, so please ensure
there is at least 50mm between nozzle and print platform, otherwise
the nozzle might clog.
Do not handle into the machine during heating or using. Otherwise
collision or scalding due to mobile printing.
Do not place the printer in high humidity, dust, or sunlight.
Do not place the printer on an inclined surface. Printing will be
affected and the machine may be damaged or hurt other items.
To avoid burns or scratches, do not separate printed objects without
protective gloves.
