Electrical Safety
To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire:
● Do not try to service, repair, or modify the Glowforge unit
● Never try to access the wiring of the Glowforge unit
● Do not open the power supply or any other sealed portion of the Glowforge unit
● If the Glowforge unit is damaged, unplug the power cord and contact ​
immediately
● In the event of any emergency or malfunction, unplug the power cord on the back of the unit
● Use only a properly grounded outlet with least 800 watts available
● The power cord is intended to serve as the disconnect device. Make sure the outlet is near the
equipment and easily accessible, so you can unplug the unit if needed.
● The maximum rating of the circuit breaker, also know as an over-current protective device, on
this circuit feeding the outlet should be 15 amps.
Fire Safety
The Glowforge unit's laser cuts and engraves with a beam of high-intensity infrared light. The laser
can generate extremely high temperatures in the material being cut or engraved. Under some
circumstances, it is possible for the material inside the Glowforge unit to ignite and for the flame to
spread outside of the area being cut or engraved. If ignited, the flame could destroy your unit and
spread, potentially setting fire to the building.
Fire Risk
● Do not put anything inside the Glowforge printer that is not laser-compatible, even if you do
not intend to cut or engrave it. Learn more about laser-compatible materials below.
● Do not stack materials; for example attempting to cut two or more sheets of material at a time.
Multiple sheets are more likely to burn.
● Clean out leftover bits inside the Glowforge unit when it builds up. (See "Cleaning")
● Do not place things on top of the Glowforge unit. Do not store things that can catch fire above it.
● Do not store sources of flammable vapors like paint, acetone, gasoline, or alcohol in the same
room as your Glowforge unit. Flammable vapors could be ignited during operation.
● When a print is complete, certain materials, like plastics, can remain hot. Allow them to cool
down before you touch them.
Keep watch during operation
● Never leave the Glowforge unit unattended while operating – always stay within sight. Look
inside frequently.
