Set Up Exhaust
Connect Hose to Unit
Use the hose provided. Slide the ring clamp around the hose then squeeze the two ends
of the clamp together to fit the hose and clamp over the exhaust connection on the back
of your Glowforge printer. Let go, then check to be sure the clamp is settled over the white
ring around the exhaust and will not come off with a gentle tug.
Connect Hose to Outdoors
Connect the other end of the hose to the outdoors through a window or a vent that connects
directly outside. Do not use a vent that extends the length of the hose past 8 feet or adds any
turns. Keep the hose as straight as you can, with no more than two turns of 90 degrees or less.
Make sure the hose isn't twisted, pinched, kinked, or flattened.
Disconnect Hose After Use
Changing weather conditions may cause hot, cold, or humid air to enter your Glowforge that
could damage it. When your Glowforge is not in use, remove the hose from the vent or window,
or disconnect it from your Glowforge.
Connect to electrical power
● Make sure your Glowforge is turned off (O is depressed) and then connect
the power cord.
● Plug the Glowforge into a grounded wall outlet with 800 watts of power
available. Make sure you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet and
