Unpacking & Removing Accessories
Once the delivery truck leaves, your new laser will be inside the large wooden
box like the one shown above. Make sure you are ready with necessary tools and
plenty of room for laying out the parts and accessories of your new laser.
Our crates are usually banded to a wooden pallet for safe shipping. Take a few
minutes and check for any damage to the bands and crate. If you see any damage such
as pierced or broken plywood take a picture before removing bands. If it looks
smashed or opened take more pictures. The machine is insured for its value and may
be damaged if the crate is badly damaged. Trucking companies are usually excellent at
covering damage if any damage occurred during shipping. So document any issues and
contact our shipping department via email at [email protected].
Now chances are no damage exist and you are ready to open the crate. Cut any
bands. Then carefully remove the top lid. All of our crates will be secured by 2” staples.
Carefully, pry out the staples around the crate. Be careful not to use any part of the
plywood interior for a focal point on the pry bar. Stay on the outside framing to ensure
not piercing plywood and damaging machine.
Once the top lid is off, look inside and find any loose boxes containing
accessories. Remove any boxes that may fall when sides are removed. Remove front
panel and then two side panels, then the back panel. Save the crate panels in the
event you ever need to move the machine again.
