NOTES

Do not use the printer any way other than described here in order to avoid personal injury or property damage.
Do not place the printer near any heat source or flammable or explosive objects. We suggest placing it in a well-ventilated, low-dust environment.
Do not expose the printer to violent vibration or any unstable environment, as this may cause poor print quality.
4 Before using experimental or exotic filaments, we suggest using standard filaments such as ABS or PLA to calibrate and test the machine.
Do not use any other power cable except the one supplied. Always use a grounded three-prong power outlet.
6 Do not touch the nozzle, printing surface or motor during operation as they may be hot. Keep hands away from machine while in use to avoid burns or personal injury.
7 Do not wear gloves or loose clothing when operating the printer. Such cloths may become tangled in the printers moving parts leading to burns, possible bodily injury, or printer damage.
When cleaning debris from the printer hotend, always use the provided tools. Do not touch the nozzle directly when heated. This can cause personal injury.
Clean the printer frequently. Always turn the power off when cleaning, and wipe with a dry cloth to remove dust, adhered printing plastics or any other material off the frame, guide rails, or wheels. Use glass cleaner or isopropyl alcohol to clean the print surface.
10 Children under 10 years old should not use the printer without supervision.
This machine is equipped with a security protection mechanism. Do not manually move the nozzle or printing platform mechanism manually while booting up, otherwise the device will automatically power off for safety.
Users should comply with the laws and regulations of the corresponding countries and regions where the equipment is located (used), abide by professional ethics, pay attention to safety obligations, and strictly prohibit the use of our products or equipment for any illegal purposes. Creality will not be responsible for any violators' legal liability under any circumstance.

Notes: The print preheating standard is adjusted at the factory, PLA preheating standard: nozzle temperature 200°, hot bed temperature 60°, ABS preheating standard: nozzle temperature 240°, hot bed temperature 70°. If you need to adjust it due to printing materials or other reasons, you can adjust the parameters on the interface home page control → temperature → PLA / ABS preheat setting.

11. Load Filament

When you wait for the temperature to rise, hang the filament over the Filament Holder.

For loading filament smoothly, the end of the filament should be placed as shown above. 45°

11. Load Filament

Installation method of threading fixture:

23 Threading fixture x 1

Technical line drawing of a 3D printer assembly with mechanical components and exploded views (no text or symbols)

1. Clamp the threading fixture to the position shown in the figure as the figure shows.

2. Thread the consumable through the consumable run-out detection box, then the threading fixture and finally into the extruder.

11. Load Filament

When it reaches the target temperature, insert the filament into the small hole of the Extruder until it reaches the nozzle through the filament cutting detection module. If the filament flows out from the nozzle, it presents that the filament is properly loaded.

The method of extrusion spring adjustment: turn right to loosen turn left to tighten (as shown in Fig. A)

Complete loading the filament

Tips: How to replace the filament?

1. Cutting filament near the Extruder and slowly feed new filament until they are fed into the new filament.
2. Withdrawing the filament quickly and feeding the new faliment after nozzle preheated and filament pushed a little forward.
