Ergonomic risk
Operation and maintenance tasks require handling heavy loads. For instance, Build Unit transport,
saf
ety-lid handling, opening the print station’s top cover, consumables, and feedstock material, among
others.
During daily operations, the Build Unit can be moved on a ramp with no more than 2° of inclination.
In case of equipment relocation, remove all material (powder) and consumables. The customer takes full
responsibility for moving equipment, the use of auxiliary lifting/carrying aids, and providing the required
personnel. See the “Moving equipment” section in the site preparation guide.
Operation and maintenance tasks may require the use of a ladder or work platform to reach remote
parts.
The customer takes full responsibility for room layout, auxiliary equipment, personal protective
equipment (PPE), and working procedures, among other safety aspects, throughout the entire operation
of the equipment. See the Site Preparation Guide for more information.
CAUTION: Heavy loads.
CAUTION: To avoid muscle strain or back injury when moving equipment or handling items, follow
pr
oper techniques for the use of auxiliary lifting/carrying aids, and use more than one person if
required.
NOTICE:
The Build Unit, empty or full, is a heavy device. Take into consideration its maximum weight
during daily mo
ving or transport tasks.
