Crushing hazard: This pictogram is located in the area of the swivel bracket and warns of a possible crushing hazard between the scanner and the swivel bracket.

Photosensitivity/Epilepsy seizures
Read this notice before using the 3D scanner.
A small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to certain visual stimuli, such as the structured light patterns and flashing lights emitted by 3D scanners. This risk applies even to those with no prior history of epilepsy or seizures.
If you or any of your family members have a history of epilepsy or seizures, it is strongly recommended to consult a physician before using a 3D scanner that utilizes structured light or flashing patterns.
Immediately discontinue use and seek medical attention if you or anyone under your care experiences any of the following symptoms: dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitching, involuntary movements, loss of awareness, disorientation, or convulsions.
To minimize the risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures, follow these precautions: limit exposure to the scanner’s light patterns, ensure the environment is well-lit, and take regular breaks if you feel fatigued or experience discomfort during scanning.
