¶ 3D Printing Safety Information
- Do not touch the nozzle, the glass build plate, and the heated bed when the machine is printing, heating, or just finished printing.
- Use the 3D Printing Module together with the Snapmaker Enclosure (hereafter Enclosure).
- Use this product in combination with air purifying devices or in a well-ventilated environment, for some filaments and materials may release toxic odors or fumes when melted.
- Always check the safety data sheet of each specific filament and material for safety information before use. You might need to take additional safety measures when using this product with third-party filaments or materials.
¶ Laser Safety Information
- The 10W Laser Module is a Class 4 laser product. When you use the laser module correctly and in combination with the Enclosure as required, the overall laser classification of this product is Class 1.
- You should operate this product only if you have sufficient knowledge of (i) the physical properties of laser radiation, (ii) Laser Hazard Classes and associated health implications, and (iii) safety measures.
- The 10W Laser Module must be used together with the Enclosure. Please follow this guide to assemble and use the Enclosure. During laser processes, the Enclosure helps to prevent the risk of laser leakage by effectively filtering laser radiation and pausing the ongoing job if the Enclosure door is opened.
- An air purifier should be used depending on the type and constituent of the materials you are going to use, as some materials may release hazardous and toxic fumes when laser engraved or cut. Ensure that the air purifier you choose is effective enough to protect human health and prevent environmental pollution.
- Do not directly look at or touch the laser aperture or expose yourself to the laser beam during operation.
- Ensure that there is no reflective material within the work area during operation, as it may cause scattered radiation and poses safety risks.
- Ensure that there is no flammable and explosive material within the work area or around the machine during operation, as it may cause a fire.
- The 10W Laser Module mustn't be used with the 3D printing platform and the CNC carving and cutting platform (allowed only in the 4-axis machining scenario, for the Rotary Module can only be attached to the CNC platform). Otherwise, it might damage the mismatched work platform, cause a fire, or pose other risks.
¶ CNC Safety Information
- Users of the CNC Module should be at least 18 years old and have relevant experience. - Use the CNC Module together with the Enclosure.
- All the users and bystanders must wear the CNC safety goggles during operation.
- Before a CNC process, make sure to securely clamp the material.
- During a CNC process, never attempt to hold the workpiece with your hands.
- If the bit or workpiece becomes jammed or bogged down, turn off the machine immediately. Wait for all the moving parts to stop, unplug the cable, and then work to free the jammed material.
- Do not touch the bit or the collet right after use, as doing so could cause burn injuries.
- The toxic substances contained in some materials might be released in CNC carving and cutting processes. To reduce the harm, use the CNC Module with air purifying devices or in a well-ventilated environment and take safety precautions, such as wearing a mask.
