: Safety equipment
The device is equipped with the following safety equipment:
• Main switch (1)
Can be used as an EMERGENCY STOP switch in case of an emergency.
When set to the OFF position, the device is completely deactivated. Only the
supply line running from the mains socket to the input for the main switch
remains live.
• Door-monitoring switch (2)
If the door is opened during operation, the laser is deactivated, all movements
are stopped and all heaters are switched off.
• Safety thermostat
A safety thermostat monitors the temperature inside the device, so that a fire or
thermal damage can be avoided. If the temperature regulator for the heating
elements fails, the elements are deactivated once a temperature of max. 180
°C is reached inside the device.

There will be an increased risk of injury if safety equipment is damaged, modified,
removed or rendered inoperable. The device may be operated only with all
protective and safety equipment in place and fully-functional.
• Make sure the safety equipment is in perfect condition and functioning
correctly.
• Never remove, render inoperable or modify protective and safety equipment,
even during trial operation.
The safety equipment is to be checked for fault-free functioning by specialised
personnel at regular intervals. If, for the purpose of carrying out maintenance,
servicing or repair work, the device or parts thereof must be run temporarily without
one or other of the safety elements, the protection of persons has to be ensured by
taking suitable alternative measures.
