Disclaimer
Please read this installation and user manual carefully before using this product. Misuse or failure to follow
warnings and instructions may result in personal injuries, inferior results or damages to the 3D printer. Users and
purchasers of this product must know and understand the contents of the manual for correct use and care of
the Tractus3D Printer.
The conditions or methods necessary for assembling, care, storage, use or removal of the product is not within
our control or knowledge. Therefor we do not take any responsibility and explicitly disclaim liability for injuries,
loss, damages, or costs ensued from or connected with the assembly, care, storage, use or removal of the
Tractus3D Printer.
The contents of this document is provided by Tractus3D and without warranties of any kind, either expressed or

Intended use of our 3D printers
Tractus3D printers are engineered and manufactured for use within a commercial environment and for FFF
materials. Tractus3D printers are ideal for functional prototypes, concept models and series production on a
small scale. With the usage of Simplify3D, we have reached a very high level in the production of 3D models.
However the user is responsible for qualifying and validating the utilization of the printed object, in particular if
these are vital in highly restricted circumstances, like medical or automotive applications.
Our printers are compatible with 3rd party filaments but we do recommend the use of Tractus3D materials for
the best results. The properties of these materials are fully matched with our printer settings.

Safety and compliance
1. Safety and compliance
Always work safe with your Tratus3D printer and follow all warnings and instructions to prevent any possible
personal injuries or accidents.
1.1 Safety Notices
This manual includes warnings and safety notices.
Provides additional information that is helpful to do a task or to avoid problems.
Warns of a situation that may cause material damage or injuries if one does not follow the safety
instructions.
General safety information
The Tractus3D printer has moving parts that will get hot and generate high temperatures. This may cause
injuries. When in operation, never reach inside of the 3Dprinter. Control the 3Dprinter with the touchscreen,
positioned on the front or with the power switch at the front. Let the Tractus3D printer cool down for at least 5
minutes before reaching inside.
Do not leave or store items inside the 3D printer.
Without explicit instructions from Tractus3D, please do not adjust or change anything on the Tractus3D printer.
Persons with reduced physical and/or mental capabilities that are unable them to act accurately in case of
emergency or persons with lack of experience and knowledge, should not use the Tractus3D Printer. Only when
given instructions concerning the use of the appliance, or under supervision by a person responsible for their
safety.
Children should always be under supervision when using the 3D printer.
1.2 Hazards
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
This product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a digital device Class A, according to part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the 3D printer is operated in a commercial environment. This Tractus3D printer generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Electrical safety
Every printer has passed testing before shipment. This test guarantees the right level of insulation against
electrical shock. An earthed mains socket must be used. Be sure that the building installation has dedicated
7
Safety and compliance
means for over-current and short-circuiting.
The printer is powered by a power adapter or mains voltage, which is hazardous when touched. This has been
marked with a high-voltage symbol.
Always unplug the printer before doing maintenance. Never turn off the printer with a print head above 50
degrees Celsius!
Mechanical safety
The Tractus3D printer complies to the Machine Directive 2006/42/EU. The Tractus3D printer contains moving
parts. No damage to the user will be expected from the drive belts, arms or slides. Always unplug the printer
before doing maintenance.
Risk of burns
Do not touch the heated bed or printhead with your bare hands.
The print head can reach temperatures up to 300 °C and the heated bed can reach temperatures of more than
100 °C. This means there is a potential risk of burns!
Let the 3D printer cool down for 30 minutes before you perform any maintenance. Never turn off printer with a
print head above 50 degrees Celsius!
Health and safety
Our printers are compatible with all brands of 3D print filament, but we do recommend the use of Tractus3D
materials for the best results. The properties of these materials are fully matched with our printer settings. These
materials can be printed safely if the recommended temperatures and settings are used. Printing in a well-
ventilated area is always recommended. Please check the SDS of each specific material for more information.
Third-party materials may release VOCs* that are above regulated threshold levels when processed in Tractus3D
printers (not covered by warranty). These substances may cause headaches, fatigue, dizziness, confusion,
drowsiness, malaise, difficulty in concentration, and feelings of intoxication. We recommend the use of a fume.
Check the SDS of these materials for more information.
