Maintenance, modifications and repairs must only be completed by a technician or an authorised repair centre.

Handling

Handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can damage the product.

Operating environment

Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
Protect the appliance from extreme temperatures, strong jolts, flammable gases, steam and solvents.
Protect the product from high humidity and moisture.
Protect the product from direct sunlight.
Do not switch the product on after it has been taken from a cold to a warm environment. The condensation that forms might destroy the product. Allow the product to reach room temperature before you use it.

Consult an expert when in doubt about the operation, safety or connection of the product.
If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and protect it from any accidental use. DO NOT attempt to repair the product yourself. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:
- is visibly damaged,
- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.

LiPo battery

The rechargeable battery is permanently built into the product and cannot be replaced.
Never damage the rechargeable battery. Damaging the casing of the rechargeable battery might cause an explosion or a fire! Unlike conventional batteries/rechargeable batteries (e.g. AA or AAA type), the casing of the LiPo rechargeable battery does not consist of a thin sheet but rather a sensitive plastic film only.
Never short-circuit the contacts of the rechargeable battery. Do not throw the battery or the product into fire. There is a danger of fire and explosion!
Charge the rechargeable battery regularly, even if you do are not using the product. Due to the rechargeable battery technology being used, you do not need to discharge the rechargeable battery first.
When charging, place the product on a surface that is not heat-sensitive. It is normal that a certain amount of heat is generated during charging.

Power adapter

Do not modify or repair mains supply components including mains plugs, mains cables, and power supplies. Do not use damaged components. Risk of death by electric shock!

Connect the appliance to a wall socket that can be accessed easily.
As power supply, only use the supplied mains adaptor.
Only connect the power adaptor to a normal mains socket connected to the public supply. Before plugging in the power adaptor, check whether the voltage stated on the power adaptor complies with the voltage of your electricity supplier.
Never connect or disconnect power adaptors if your hands are wet.
Never unplug the power adaptor from the mains socket by pulling on the cable; always use the grips on the plug.
For safety reasons, disconnect the power adaptor from the mains socket during storms.
Do not touch the power adapter if there are any signs of damage, as this may cause a fatal electric shock! Take the following steps:
- Switch off the mains voltage to the socket containing the power adapter (switch off the corresponding circuit breaker or remove the safety fuse, and then switch off the corresponding RCD protective switch).
- Unplug the power adapter from the mains socket.
- Use a new power adapter of the same design. Do not use the damaged adapter again.
Ensure that cables are not pinched, kinked or damaged by sharp edges.
Always lay cables so that nobody can trip over or become entangled in them. This poses a risk of injury.

General safety notes

The robotic arm is electrical equipment. Non-professional technicians cannot modify the wire, otherwise, it is vulnerable to injury the device or the person.

The following safety rules should be followed when using the robotic arm.

You should comply with local laws and regulations when operating the robotic arm. The safety precautions in this document are only supplemental to local laws and regulations.
The DANGER, WARNING, and NOTICE marks in this document are only supplemental to the safety precautions.
Please use the robotic arm in the specified environment scope. If not, exceeding the specifications and load conditions will shorten the service life of the product even damage the equipment.
Before operating and maintaining the robotic arm, the personnel responsible for the installation, operation, and maintenance must be trained to understand the various safety precautions and to master the correct methods of operation and maintenance.
Highly corrosive cleaning is not suited to cleaning the robotic arm. The anodized components are not suitable for immersion cleaning.
People cannot repair and disassemble the robotic arm without professional training. If there is a problem with the robotic arm, please contact Dobot technical support engineer in time.
Please comply with the relevant laws when disposing off the product.
There are small parts in the packing box. Keep them away from children to avoid any accidents.
DO NOT let children play with the robotic arm alone. All processes need to be monitored while running. After processes have finished, turn off the equipment promptly.
DO NOT put hands into the workspace of the robotic arm while running to avoid bruising or pinching.
Be careful when carrying and installing the robotic arm. Follow the instructions on the packing box to put down the robotic arm gently and place it correctly in direction of the arrow.
Commissioning of the incomplete machine is prohibited until it has been installed in a machine and the whole machine complies with the provisions of the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC).
It is prohibited to modify or remove the nameplates, instructions, icons, and marks on the robotic arm and the related equipment.
Refer to Magician Lite Quick Start along with the packing box before using it.

Precautions

Please make the Dobot Magician in the workspace with a 45° angle between the Forearm and Rear Arm (as shown in Figure 1.1) before starting up. If the LED indicator turns red after starting up, it indicates that the Dobot Magician is at a limited position. Please make the Dobot Magician in the workspace.

Figure 1.1 The Forearm and Rear Arm position

Dobot Magician will move slowly to the specific position when shutdown. DO NOT put hands into the workspace of the Dobot while running, to avoid bruising or pinching. Only once the LED indicator completely turns off, the Dobot Magician can be powered down.
If the coordinates of the Dobot Magician shown on the DobotStudio are abnormal, please press the Reset button on the back of the base to reset Dobot Magician or click Home on the DobotStudio page to perform homing.
During resetting, Dobot Magician will disconnect from the PC automatically and the LED indicator on the base turns yellow. About 5 seconds later, if the LED indicator turns green, it indicates that the reset is successful.
During homing, Dobot Magician will rotate clockwise to the limited position and then return to the homing point automatically, and the LED indicator on the base turns blue and is blinking. After homing, if there is a beep sound and the LED indicator turns green, it indicates that the homing is successful.
Please turn off the Dobot Magician completely first before connecting or disconnecting external equipment, such as Bluetooth, WIFI, stick controller, infrared sensor, color sensor, etc. Or, it causes damage to your device.
Please wear the lasing protective eyeglass when using the laser module. Please protect your eyes and skin from the laser.
The heating rod will produce high temperature up to 250°C when using the 3D printing module, please be careful.
Please DO NOT operate or turn off Dobot Magician when burning firmware, to avoid machine damage.
