WARNING
Danger of pulling in fingers or loose clothing when manually moving the axes.
Do not reach into the build chamber while the machine is running!
Wherever possible, the protective covers – door (O) and service hatch (J) – must
be in place before manual movement of the axes.
By using the wrong G-code, it is possible that the hot nozzle moves into the print
and causes a fire hazard. Printing must not be performed without supervision!
Do not use G-code from unknown sources without prior checking of the code with
e.g. a visualization.
