3.10.3 Hazards due to hot places
The inside of the device is subject to very high temperatures during operation and
also the powder and the print object are hot. If the device has not cooled down
sufficiently before the door is opened, there is a risk of burns due to high surface
temperatures.
• Allow the device to cool down after the printing process.
• Wear suitable protective gloves.
• Perform maintenance work or similar activities at the device only when this is in
a cold state.

3.10.5 Hazards due to gases, vapours and dust
The powder processed in the device is basically non-toxic. If the powder is handled
without due care, dust can form. If powder is inhaled or enters the eyes, this can
cause respiratory or eye irritation or damage to health.
• When handling powder, use respiratory protection, protective goggles and
protective gloves.
• Do not use compressed air for cleaning tasks.
• Avoid draughts.
If the powder is heated excessively or catches fire, toxic gases are released,
principally carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO
2
). Inhalation of these
gases can result in damage to health or, in the worst case, to death.
• Use respiratory protection
• If using the device in confined spaces, ensure that there is sufficient ventilation.
• Have fire extinguishing agents close at hand.
Note
Comply the information concerning PA 12 powder on the safety data sheet in the
appendix. If using other types of powder, comply with the manufacturers’
specifications (indicated on data sheets, for example).
