Hazards
Electrical safety
The UltiMaker Factor 4 is powered by mains voltage, which is hazardous when touched. The
power supply and electronics are located at the back of the printer. Always turn off the printer and
disconnect the power cable before removing the back panel. Only skilled or instructed persons
should remove the back panel while the power is on. Always check local regulations.
Warning: Always reinstall the back panel after maintenance and/or service actions.
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. Please use a
dedicated circuit breaker with a current rating not exceeding 16A.
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 one.
Warning: Always unplug the product before performing maintenance or modifications, unless
explicitly stated otherwise for certain (maintenance) processes.
Mechanical safety
Pinching and entanglement hazard. Do not reach into the gantry area of the printer during
operation due to a pinching hazard. Do not lean over the gantry during operation and/or
maintenance due to risk of entanglement of hair, jewelry, and/or scarfs. This may cause minor pain,
but no significant injury to the user is expected from pinching or entanglement by the drive belts or
X beam.
Crushing and pinching hazard. The force of the build plate is limited but may cause minor injury, so
stay out of the reach of the build plate during operation.
Note: Keep the door closed during operation unless explicitly stated otherwise for certain
(maintenance) processes. The printer will pause when the door is opened during printing.
Risk of burns
Hot surface hazard. There is a potential risk of burns: the print heads of the UltiMaker 3D printers
can reach temperatures above 200 °C, while the heated bed can reach temperatures above 100 °C.
Do not touch either of these parts with your bare hands. This symbol is placed on the print head
and on the build plate to warn the user about this hazard.
Warning: Allow the UltiMaker 3D printers to cool down sufficiently before reaching inside, or
performing maintenance or modifications, unless explicitly stated otherwise for certain processes.
Always wait until the display indicates that the build plate has cooled down to a safe temperature.
Emission hazard
During 3D printing, Ultrafine Particles (UFPs), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), and other chemical
substances may be emitted. Above certain concentrations (Threshold Limit Values, TLV), these
emissions can pose a risk. Concentrations are influenced by the filament and adhesive used, print
conditions (e.g. print temperature), room volume, Air Exchange Rate (AER), and number of printers in a
room.
The UltiMaker Factor 4 has an integrated air management system with HEPA filter, which filters Ultrafine
Particles generated during the 3D printing process.
UltiMaker products are designed for use with UltiMaker materials and are open for use with materials
from third-party suppliers.
UltiMaker Factor 4 Safety and warranty information
• Safe use information for UltiMaker materials. UltiMaker materials can be printed safely without
any additional filtering using the recommended temperatures and settings in a well-ventilated area
(minimum refresh rate or AER of 1.8 for a room size of 30.6 m3). When multiple UltiMaker 3D printers
are operated in a contained environment, concentrations of UFPs and/or VOCs will increase.
Depending on the specific situation, please consider other safety measures, such as a dedicated
ventilation system.
• Safe use information for third-party materials. Make sure to check with your material supplier
whether additional risks and safety measures apply. Additional safety measures may be required
for the safe usage of such materials. Always take the relevant information provided by the supplier
of third-party materials into account for safe operation. Please check the safety data sheet of each
specific material for information. UltiMaker cannot be held responsible for any adverse effects from
the use and/or performance of third-party materials.
Magnetic field
Static magnetic field hazard. Due to the static magnetic field caused by the magnets in the printer,
keep a distance of at least 4 cm (1.5 in) between these magnets and any implanted electronic
medical devices and implants containing ferromagnetic materials. Magnets are used in the build
plate, print head, and Material Station door.
Personal protective equipment
The following items are recommended for working safely with the UltiMaker Factor 4, especially for
performing maintenance actions:
• Tweezers. Required for safely removing material residue from the tip of the nozzle.
• Thermal gloves. Recommended while cleaning the nozzle as the nozzle will be hot during these
procedures.
• Protective gloves. Recommended while removing brims or support structures.
Regulatory information
Electromagnetic compatibility
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules and the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment.
This equipment 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.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
Declaration of conformity
The UltiMaker Factor 4 is compliant towards the essential requirements and other relevant provisions
of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, EMC Directive 2014/30/EU, RED 2014/53/EU, RoHS Directive
2011/65/EU, and WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU.
Tip: Signed copies of the full EC, cMETus, and UKCA declarations of conformity (English) can be
downloaded from our website.
Tip: Additional country-specific compliance information, where relevant, can be found on the
compliance label at the back of the printer and in the full user manual.
