WARNINGS
Hydra Research 3D printers contain electronic, motorized, and heated parts. Always be aware of possible hazards during operation. Keep your printer indoors in a dry, ventilated area and do not expose to rain or snow.
Burn Hazard
Never touch the nozzle, heater block, Print Surface, or build plate while hot, especially during printing. Make sure heating to the tool and bed are turned off and internal parts have cooled completely before touching. Do not touch recently extruded plastic, it is very hot and can stick to the skin causing burns. Avoid touching motors during or after printing as they can also get hot.
Pinch Hazard
Your 3D printer uses motorized, moving parts that can get caught on body parts, hair, jewelry or clothing. Do not reach or put anything inside the printer during operation to avoid possible injury.
Fire Hazard
Never place flammable materials or any liquids on or near the printer while it is powered on. Electronics and heated parts can pose a fire hazard when used improperly. Never cover the fan vents on your printer; doing so can damage your printer and is a fire hazard.
Electric Shock Hazard
Always power down and unplug your 3D printer before connecting or disconnecting wires or accessing the electronics enclosure. Never open the power supply; it contains parts that can cause harm when handled improperly. Even when powered off, some power supply components pose a risk of electric shock. Place the power cable so that it does not pose a tripping hazard and do not use a damaged power cable.
Print Surface
