 As a responsible user, you should be very aware of the following risks and how to deal with them:
 '''TRAPPING''' - The head and bed of the machine are moved by programs in the machine's memory.
-* Be careful when near the machine, it will possibly move even if the PC is off
+* Be careful when near the machine, it will move autonomously
 * Ensure you are familiar with the 'Pause' and 'Abort printing' functions on the Ultimaker so that in an emergency you can quickly halt printing.
-'''BURN RISK''' - the platen on the printer is heated, and will reach temperatures up to 100C during a print run which could cause skin burns. The extrusion nozzle can reach temperatures of up to 260C. Do not touch either of these areas while printing, and keep the guard door securely closed while printing.
+'''BURN RISK''' - The plate/bed will reach 100C and the nozzle up to 260C.
 * Be careful when the machine has recently been used, especially when removing your print, as it may still be hot enough to burn
-'''ELECTROCUTION''' - as with all mains powered devices there is a small risk of danger from exposed wires. Always do a manual check that the wiring is safe, no cores are exposed or wires trapped.
+'''FUMES''' - In high concentrations ABS fumes may cause irritation.
-'''FUMES''' - In high concentrations ABS fumes may cause irritation. Do not spend extended periods over the printer whilst it is printing, and turn on the extractor/inlet fans of the main space when doing long print runs.

-The Ultimaker 2 and 2+ printers are the newest FDM printers at MS. Its design is of a later generation than our [[Equipment/3D_Printer/Makerbot|Makerbot Replicator 2X]] and [[Equipment/3D_Printer/Up|UP!]]. The method of printing is almost identical but the implementation is more refined, so as a result the UM2 is expected to be faster, quieter and more reliable (in terms of both print outcome and maintenance).
+The Ultimaker 2+ printers have replaced the previous [[Equipment/3D_Printer/Makerbot|Makerbot Replicator 2X]] and [[Equipment/3D_Printer/Up|UP!]] FDM printers. The method of printing is almost identical but the implementation is more refined, so as a result the UM2 is expected to be faster, quieter and more reliable (in terms of both print outcome and maintenance).
-The 2+ is almost identical to the 2+ but has an improved feed mechanism, hot end and cooling arrangement. It is intended that our UM2 will be upgraded to 2+ equivalence in due course.
+The only difference between the regular and extended version is that the extended version can print taller objects.
 The manufacturer's product information page is [https://ultimaker.com/en/products/ultimaker-2-family/ultimaker-2 here].
