Zortrax M200

The following information provides details on known equipment hazards. Please, review and use the equipment safely!

HEAT HAZARDS
Print Head	Print Head operates at a Maximum Temperature of 380° C [716° F]. Do NOT touch the print head/nozzle!
Print Platform	Heated print platform’s operating temperature is 110° C [230° F]. Allow 10-15 minutes of cool-down time before removing and/or handling the print platform!
CUTTING HAZARDS
Print Removal	Removing 3D Printed parts from the print platform, may require the use of a scraper. Always wear thick rubber or leather gloves and scrape AWAY from your body, to prevent injury.
BREATHING HAZARDS
ABS Plastics	Heating and extruding ABS Plastics emits 200 billion nano-particles per minute. A fume-extraction hood removes these particles, thus reducing breathing hazards. Please, keep the sliding doors in a closed position as frequently as possible.
PLA Plastics	Heating and extruding ABS Plastics emits 200 billion nano-particles per minute. A fume-extraction hood removes these particles, thus reducing breathing hazards. Please, keep the sliding doors in a closed position as frequently as possible.
