SAFETY SYMBOLS AND DEFINITIONS The following safety labels are posted at various points on the machine to indicate potentially hazardous conditions: HOT SURFACES HAZARD: There are surfaces and materials in the vicinity that may be hot and could cause severe burns. ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD: High voltage electricity is accessible in the vicinity of this sign or behind the access panel. High voltage can cause severe burns or death. Access panels are for service only and should be opened only by certified service personnel or trained maintenance personnel. CAUTION: Indicates something may happen that could cause loss of data, damage to equipment, or personal injury. FIRST AID SECTION – WHAT TO DO In the case of an accident while using any SLS equipment, seek medical attention immediately. Use the following guidelines for specific safety instances. 3D Systems, Inc. p/n 77-D005 Rev_A Burns This equipment contains high temperatures and burning laser radiation which could cause 2nd degree burns . Do not attempt to remove any protective panels . There are no user serviceable parts inside . If a burn occurs, seek first aid and immediate medical attention. Pushing the E-stop button will de-energize the equipment and diffuse the hazardous situation . Electrocution The SLS system contains equipment energized at 208 volts, 3-phase delta . Do not attempt to remove protective panels . There are no user serviceable parts inside . If electrocution occurs, seek first aid and medical attention immediately. Pushing the E-stop button will de-energize the equipment and diffuse the hazardous situation . Material Inhalation The part cleaning process may create a choking or air restriction hazard. If someone has difficulty breathing or a “loss of breath” sensation, transport the person to a well-ventilated room or outside of the facility . If the condition persists, seek immediate medical attention . SLS EQUIPMENT SAFETY FEATURES A major design goal for all SLS equipment is to provide a safe operating environment . The frame and enclosure designs passively limit hazardous access while the electronics and software actively and automatically sense and react to unsafe conditions when they arise . For example, if the SLS system detects unsafe operating conditions, it will immediately stop operating and, in some cases, shut down completely . CAUTION: If any SLS equipment safety features fail, your actions may be all that will prevent potentially hazardous operating conditions. Safety Interlocks Safety interlock devices on the SLS equipment help prevent accidental laser exposure, electrical shocks, crush injuries, burns, and fires. SLS equipment will not operate unless all safety interlocks are satisfied. CAUTION: Never try to disable or override any safety interlock device on any SLS equipment. Operating equipment without all safety interlocks enabled can cause equipment damage, injury, or death. If you suspect a safety interlock device is not working properly, do not operate your SLS equipment. Rather, disconnect power from the equipment and contact 3D Systems Customer Support for assistance. a. Internal panels are for service access only. Several interlocked panels are for customer maintenance: overflow cleanout, blackbody cleaning port, and the filter box located on back of machine. Limited Access and Barrier Shielding SLS equipment frame and enclosure designs limit access to the following: • Service areas, such as cabinets and enclosures for electrical power and automation controls. This prevents accidental exposure to electrical shock hazards. • Material areas, such as material feed hoppers, storage bins, and transport tubes. This prevents: • burn hazards by minimizing exposure to heated material • slip hazards by keeping material from dropping on the floor • fire hazards by minimizing airborne dust cloud formation and potential ignition. See SDS for complete material hazard details. 3D Systems, Inc. p/n 77-D005 Rev_A Other Active Safety Features • The ProX® MQC Single Use System, coupled with the Dust Collector, removes airborne material during part breakout in accordance with standard industrial ventilation practices. • An optional room oxygen monitor automatically initiates SLS system shutdown when it detects too little oxygen in the room. • Software in the SLS system automatically initiates immediate equipment shutdown if certain unsafe conditions are detected during operation. ELECTRICAL SAFETY To prevent electrical shock, SLS equipment will not operate unless all external panels are installed and all electrical safety interlock circuits are closed . ELECTRICAL HAZARD: Hazardous voltage exists inside the enclosures of all SLS equipment. Injury or death from electrical shock can result if you remove external panels or try to defeat safety interlocks. Panels should only be removed, and interlocks should only be defeated, by trained and certified 3D Systems Customer Support personnel. ELECTRICAL HAZARD: Verify your facility’s electrical service ratings before connecting 3D Systems, Inc. p/n 77-D005 Rev_A
