6 Maintenance
To maintain the most ecient and long-lasting machine, ensure regular conservation. Formlabs
provides instructions to advise in installing, operating, and maintaining the machine. It shall
only be maintained by a qualified and trained person. Unauthorized disassembly or repair
procedures may damage the machine.
There are two groups of maintenance procedures: regular, which should be done after every
print, and intermittent maintenance, which only needs to be done occasionally. Please keep
a log detailing when each intermittent maintenance procedure was last performed. Prior to
starting a print, the machine displays prompts on its touchscreen to notify the operator if any
intermittent procedures are past due.
Tampering with, or disassembling the Fuse 1 prior to disconnecting the power cable
and waiting approximately ten minutes can subject users to potentially fatal electrical
hazards.
Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) when performing maintenance tasks. Use
tools only as described.
When removing the exterior paneling, disconnect the machine from its power source
before maintenance. Moving parts present crushing and tangling hazards.
