Safety Instructions and Disclaimer
Placement and Basic Use
lMake sure that the printer is located and operated in a safe place to avoid potential risks.
lThis device is intended for indoor use only. Do not expose the device to water or snow. Contact with water and
other liquids may lead to damage to the electronics, short circuits, and other types of damage. Always operate
the printer in a dry environment.
lPlace the printer in a safe dry place on a horizontal and stable surface - e.g., a work table. Around the printer
should be at least 30 cm of space. If there are obstacles close to the printer, it may affect its operation or cause
excessive wear of the textile cable sleeves or even the cables themselves. Worn cables can pose a risk
(electric shock, fire).
lMake sure that none of the vents/fans is blocked. The printer has a built-in fan speed monitoring, but in some
cases (incorrect assembly, damage to components, unofficial firmware) the monitoring may not work correctly.
Insufficient cooling can lead to overheating and serious damage to the printer (risk of damage to electronics,
fire).
lMake sure that the printer is placed so that it cannot be toppled over or dropped to the ground. If the printer
has suffered physical damage, do not use it - damaged parts of the printer may pose a safety risk.
lThe power cable must be placed so that it cannot be tripped over, stepped on, or otherwise damaged. Place
the printer on a stable, solid surface (e.g., a work desk). If the printer is damaged, stop using the device, turn it
off immediately and contact us for assistance. Damaged cables pose a safety risk - there is a risk of electric
shock or fire.
lDo not leave the printer switched on without supervision! The printer has temperature monitoring and a number
of smart features for increased safety, but in the case of use contrary to the instructions in this manual or
failure of components, there is a risk of fire.
lNever place anything into the printer under the heatbed - the heatbed is a moving part and could crash into
objects underneath it!
Acting in contravention of the information provided in the manual may lead to injury, poor print results, or damage to
the 3D printer. Make sure that everyone working with the printer is familiarized with the content of this handbook and
understands it correctly.
As we cannot control the conditions under which the Mingda Magician X2 printer is used, we do not assume any
responsibility and expressly disclaim any liability for losses, injuries, damages or expenses arising out of or in
connection with the assembly, handling, storage, use or disposal of the product.
The information in this manual is provided without any warranties, expressed or implied. Be very careful when
handling the 3D printer. It is an electrical device with moving and heated parts.

Electrical Safety
lThe printer should only be powered through a standard 230 VAC, 50 Hz or 110 VAC, 60 Hz outlet. Never use
alternative power sources as they can cause problems or damage the printer.
lDo not use the printer if the power cord is damaged in any way – damaged cords can lead to electric shock.
lWhen disconnecting the power cord from the outlet, pull the plug, not the cord, to reduce the risk of damaging the
plug or outlet.
lNever disassemble the power supply of the printer as it contains no parts that can be repaired by an untrained
worker. Always take the printer to a qualified service technician for repairs. Improper interventions in the power
supply may lead to damage to the printer and an increased risk of electric shock.
lThe device is disconnected from the power supply by pulling out the plug. The electrical outlet must be easily
accessible.
Mechanical Risk
Moving mechanical parts of the printer can cause injury.
lNever interfere with the inner components of the printer when it is connected to the power supply or running –
there is a risk of injury from mechanical parts or electric shock.
lPrevent children from manipulating the printer without the supervision of an adult – even when the printer is not
printing.
Burn Risk
lDo not touch heated parts of the printer – heatbed, print plate, and parts of the printhead. There is a risk of burns.
lWarning! During printing, parts of the printhead and the print plate can heat up to very high temperatures! Do not
touch them until the printing ends and the printer cools down – otherwise, you may get burned.
7
Proper Use of Glass Printing Sheets
Each type of print sheet requires slightly different maintenance. Improper handling and use can lead to damage to
the print sheet, heatbed or other parts of the printer. Print sheets are consumable and subject to wear.
lTo degrease the sheet’s surface, use highly concentrated isopropyl alcohol (90% or higher).
lDo not use products that contain IPA as one of the components (e.g. hand sanitizers) - these products usually
contain other additives that may negatively affect the properties of the printing plate.
lIf the sheet is dirty, clean its surface with an isopropyl alcohol-dampened wipe before you start printing.
Working with Filaments
When handled correctly, working with filaments is straightforward and safe.
Please read the following recommendations.
lAlways use the recommended temperatures for the selected material.
lBeware of molten plastic - it can cause burns! If there is molten plastic stuck in the nozzle, do not remove it by
hand - use pliers or other tools.
lSome materials may emit a strong odor when printing - regularly ventilate the room.
lHandle the filament according to the instructions on the following pages of the manual.
lAlways make sure that the end of the filament is properly secured (either in the extruder or in the spool). If you
accidentally release the end of the filament, it may easily tangle up and create knots.
