Important safety instructions

CE conformity information:
The K8400 is a DIY 3D printer kit, it contains all the bits and pieces to construct your own 3D printer but does not contain additional
protection. As it is a kit and not a finished product, compliance with the CE regulations depends on the build-quality; also the following
notes must be taken into account.
Electrical safety:
The included power supply meets all the applicable European requirements and bears the CE-mark. It is protected against overload
and short circuit and nothing needs to be modified. The working voltage of the 3D printer is 15Vdc (extra low voltage) and therefore
it's outside the scope of the Low voltage directive.
!
Always unplug before maintenance or modification.
Electromagnetic radiation (EMC):
Conductive EMC towards the public distribution network is not an issue as this is related to the power supply. Radiated EMC
depends substantially on the build quality, it might be required to add shielding but this cannot be predicted. A built K8400 should
comply with EN50081 normation
Mechanical safety and protection:
The 3D printer contains a lot of moving parts, but the force of the stepper motors is too low to cause serious injuries. Neverthe-
less it is recommended to provide additional protection against mechanical risks. The easiest way to make your 3D printer "accident
proof" is to put it inside a protective enclosure which completely covers the 3D printer – with or without an access door and fume
extraction. (numerous designs can be found on the internet)
To make it extra safe a switch which interrupts the power supply of the printer when the enclosure or door is opened can be added.
It is also advisable to install an external emergency stop switch, which also cuts off the power supply.
Providing a dequate protection is the responsibility of the assembler.
!
Always cut power before maintenance or modification.
