To avoid burns and physical damage do not touch the printer s head heating plate or moving parts unless the printer has been completely turned off and the heating parts extruder head heating plate has been cooled enough to room temperature or less The printer filament and cabling must be placed so that it cannot be unintentionally touched or hooked by clothing If you need to clean the heating bed or the extruder use a clean paper wipe or kitchen towel Warning Printing surface is made from glass which can crack rather easily so be very careful with it The heating bed can be sprayed lightly with non flammable consumer plastics or glass cleaner and then wiped off with a clean wipe The screws which hold the heating bed must not be overtightened because it may crack when it heats up Avoid impacts and putting heavy objects on the heating bed or other parts Warning When printing especially with ABS plastic it will lightly emit fumes and smell so the premises where the printer is located must be well ventilated but must avoid draught If the plastic is being cooled too rapidly it may warp If the plastic is burned it will emit toxic fumes Warning The printer must not be left unattended with children This printer is not really a toy for children and therefore children must always be accompanied and supervised by an adult when using this product Do not leave the printed objects other plastic parts and tools unattended in the reach of small c
