UltiMaker S8 Installation and user manual
Definitions of ordinary, instructed, and skilled persons:
• Ordinary person. A person other than an instructed or skilled person. Ordinary persons can start and remove
print jobs and perform basic operations such as loading material or changing print cores, provided they have
read and understood the manual and safety instructions. Performing other actions is only allowed when
explicitly stated in the respective manuals (including e.g. maintenance instructions).
• Instructed person. Someone who has been instructed and trained by a skilled person. Instructed persons
are allowed to perform the same actions as an ordinary person, plus maintenance actions as indicated in the
manuals. Can perform actions of a skilled person when supervised by a skilled person who is responsible for
the instructed person’s safety, e.g. as part of a training to become a skilled person.
• Skilled person. A term applied to persons who have been trained or have experience in the equipment
technology, particularly in knowing the various energies and energy magnitudes employed in the equipment.
Skilled persons are expected to use their training and experience to recognize energy sources capable of
causing pain or injury and to take action for protection from injury from those energies.
General safety notices
• Choose a suitable location to install the UltiMaker S series product. Ensure the printer is installed safely and
securely, and take proper measures to prevent the printer from falling.
• UltiMaker 3D printers generate high temperatures and have hot moving parts that can cause injury. Never
reach inside UltiMaker 3D printers while they are in operation. Control the printer using the touchscreen, power
switch, or via UltiMaker Digital Factory.
• Allow the UltiMaker 3D printers to cool down sufficiently before reaching inside, unless explicitly stated
otherwise for certain (maintenance) processes. Always wait until the display indicates that the build plate has
cooled down to a safe temperature.
• Do not change or adjust any parts of the product unless the change or adjustment is authorized by UltiMaker.
• Do not store items inside UltiMaker products, except compatible material spools in the Material Station.
• When performing maintenance procedures, follow the guided procedures in the printer’s firmware where
possible. Otherwise, turn off the printer to ensure new print jobs cannot start unexpectedly.
• For safety, always close the printer door immediately after opening it for print removal, configuration
adjustments, maintenance, or repairs. Leaving the door open increases the risk of accidental impacts, which
could cause the printer to shift or fall, damage the door hinges, or shatter the safety glass panel.
• Always close the Material Station door immediately after loading or changing material spools. Leaving the door
open may increase humidity levels and pose safety risks, as accidental impacts could shift or destabilize the
printer or damage the glass door. Never store items on the opened Material Station door.
1.3 Hazards
Electrical safety
The UltiMaker S series 3D printers and Material Station are powered by mains voltage, which is hazardous
when touched. The power supply and electronics are located at the bottom of the machine. Only skilled and
instructed persons should remove the bottom cover of the printer. Always check local regulations.
A mains socket with a protective earth/ground terminal must be used. Make sure that the building installation
has dedicated means of over-current and short-circuit protection. Use a circuit breaker with a current rating not
exceeding 16A (for 220-240 VAC circuits) or 20A (for 100-120 VAC circuits).
Warning: Only use the original power cable supplied with the device. Do not damage, cut, or repair the cable. A
damaged cable should be immediately replaced with a new original one.
Warning: Always unplug the product before performing maintenance or modifications, unless explicitly stated
otherwise for certain (maintenance) processes.
