NOTES
1 Do not use the printer any way other than described herein in order to avoid personal injury or property damage. 2 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. 3 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. 5 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 or printing surface 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. 8 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. 9 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. 11 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. 12 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 circustance.

10. Solution for V-wheel jamming of heated bed plate V
Gently dial the V-wheel manually to check whether it is idling. If idling happens, please use an open-ended wrench to adjust the off-center separation pillar according to the illustrated direction, so that the V wheel is not idling. VV Click back to the origin in the interface after power-on, and then go on moving the Z axis independently. Put your hand on the printing platform to observe whether the platform is stuck. If it is, please adjust the off- center separation pillar in the opposite direction according to the illustrated direction to make the V-wheel move smoothly. Z

Method 1: Insert the new filament into filament runout detection module, the indicator light is on. Click the “Resume after filament runout” in the display, and set the nozzle temperature to 200. Take out the remaining filament in the filament runout detection module from the lower part of the extruder after the temperature rises. Push the extruding clamp until the filament is sent into the nozzle through the filament runout detection module. Method 2: Insert the new filament into filament runout detection module, the indicator light is on, then click the “Resume after filament runout” in the display. When it starts to print, hold the filament and allow it to go through the extruder. (The filament may not be properly fed into the Teflon tube due to bending or other reasons, resulting in failure of resumption).

14. Start Printing

This machine can print at a fast speed, but it is recommended to print at normal speed!Notes: the temperature of the nozzle is set according to the printing speed. Take PLA as an example: PLA

Nozzle temperature

60mm/s
Around 200 200

125mm/s
Around 210 210

250mm/s
Around 220 220

The printing temperature is different owing to the variety of PLA filaments. Please refer to the actual situation.

open the buckles on both sides of the top cover and move them upward simultaneously disengage the buckles, and the top cover is removed.

Diagram 1: Move the nozzle unit to where close to the origin first before assembly.
1 Diagram 2: Then align the positioning pins of the upper cover with the holes of the mounting plate. 2 Press the upper cover down again, and then lock the removed screws to the corresponding positions.

16.Equipment Maintenance
Maintenance of sliding rails/ sliding blocks: Three sliding rails and sliding blocks in the X/Y line should be periodically maintained (generally per 3-6 months). When surfaces of sliding rails lack the lubricant or there is abnormal sound during the operation, it means that balls in sliding blocks lack the lubricant and lubricating grease or lubricating fluid should be applied on the sliding rails. / X/Y3-6
