Fire Safety (Cont.)
NEVER store any flammable materials in the inside of the device or in the immediate vicinity of
the device. Debris and leftover produced materials within the machine must to be removed to prevent
fire hazard.
Woodshop Dust Fire Safety Considerations*
Before processing materials, the user must verify whether harmful materials can be generated
and whether the filter equipment of the exhaust system is suitable for the harmful materials. We
emphasize that it is the responsibility of the user to consider the national and regional threshold
values for dust, fogs and gases when selecting the filters and the exhaust system.
(The values for the maximum workplace concentration must not be exceeded.)
Be mindful of large quantities of fuel in the form of wood and wood products, sawdust, and
flammable materials such as paints, oil finishes, adhesives, solvents, and liquid propane for
internal combustion engines.
Preventing the buildup of dust is one of the key means for controlling fire and explosion hazards.
The principal engineering control technology for control of dust is exhaust ventilation. The primary
work practice control is good housekeeping.
Dust collection is best accomplished at the source-at the point of operation of the equipment, if
feasible. For many pieces of equipment, well-designed ducts and vacuum hoods can collect most
of the dust generated before it even reaches the operator.
Very fine dust that manages to escape point-of-source collection can be captured from above by
general exhaust points located along the ceiling. These control technologies are effective for most
equipment, excepting machines that commonly produce the very finest dust or large quantities of dust.

WARNING
CAUTION
Setup Precautions
Follow all safety protocols and procedures before operating any machinery. It is the responsibility
of the operator to ensure all safety precautions are correctly followed and the machine is properly
assembled and in working order.
• Always inspect the laser cutter for damage or breakage before each use.
Do not operate machinery that is damaged or defective in any way.
• Always have a clean, level, and open work space to unbox and place your
laser cutter.
• The laser tube is lled with CO2 gas. While carbon dioxide is a class 2.2
gas (nonammable and nontoxic), release of this gas from the laser tube will
render your laser inoperable.
• Never modify, disassemble, or in any way alter the construction of the laser
and never start up a system that has been modied or disassembled.
• Never leave the laser system unattended during operation.
• Keep your laser system clean. A buildup of cutting and engraving residue and
debris is dangerous and can create a re hazard. Keep your laser system clean
and free of debris. Regularly remove the cutting grid to clean any small pieces that
have gotten stuck or fallen through.
• Do not disassemble the machine or remove any of its protective covers.
• Always have on hand a rst-aid kit designed for the initial treatment of burns
and smoke inhalation. Be sure to store this kit in an area that is outside risk areas.
• Never operate the machine with any of the panels removed. Be aware that
removal of any portion of the cabinet will expose the laser system and greatly
increase the risk of injury and/or re. Personal injury and re risks are especially
pronounced if the machine is operated with the bottom panel removed. Remember
that the CO2 laser beam is invisible.
• Never place hands or ngers into moving parts such as cooling fans.
• The laser tube is made of glass and is therefore extremely fragile and can
cause severe lacerations if broken.

DANGER
WARNING
DANGER
Section 1. Safety
General Safety
Safety During Operation
The output of the CO2 engraving laser is fully contained in a Class 1 enclosure during normal operation. The
laser cabinet has a safety interlock switch that deactivates the laser if the door is opened during operation, and
no special precautions are necessary to operate the high power laser safely. However, the output beam of the
Alignment Laser (visible red diode laser) is accessible to the operator during normal operation, giving the total
system an overall rating of Class 3R. Class 3R lasers have minimal safety concerns when used properly and
handled with care.
Follow these Safety Guidelines at all times:
• Never engrave or cut any material containing PVC or vinyl under any
circumstance. These materials (along with other chlorine/ chloride containing
materials) produce a highly toxic, corrosive vapor that is lethal to humans and
will destroy your machine. Your warranty will be void if your machine is damaged
by corrosion from engraving or cutting PVC or vinyl.
• Never engrave or cut any unknown material. The vaporization / melting of
many materials, including but not limited to PVC and polycarbonates, can give off
hazardous fumes. Please refer to the MSDS sheet from the material manufacturer to
determine the response of any work material to extreme heat (burning/re hazard).
• Never operate the machine without a properly operating ventilation system.
Most materials produce an irritating smoke when engraved. Some materials,
including but not limited to: paint, varnish, composition board, and plastics, produce
compounds that are toxic.
• Always use the air assist, especially while vector cutting. Vector cutting
movements are relatively slow and apply an extremely large amount of heat to the
workplace. This buildup of heat can create a signicant re risk.
• Never run laser with lid open. Always be sure the lid is closed and never tamper
with lid safety mechanism.
• Never look into the beam of the Alignment Laser (visible red diode laser).
• Never aim any laser towards an aircraft or vehicle that is in motion. The bright
light can ash, blind, cause glare, or distract the pilot or driver.

CAUTION
Section 1. Safety
Fire Safety
Fire Safety
Laser cutting and engraving systems can present a signicant re hazard due to the extremely high
temperatures generated by the laser beam. While the objective of most cutting and engraving operations
is to vaporize material without burning, most materials capable of being cut or engraved are inherently
combustible and can ignite. Usually this is a small ame of burning material issuing from the cut zone which
self-extinguishes due to the air assist or depowering of the beam. However, it is possible for the ame to
propagate and set re to the machine and its surroundings.
• Always keep a properly maintained and inspected 5lbs. or larger re
extinguisher on hand. Full Spectrum Laser recommends a Halogen re extinguisher or
a multipurpose dry chemical re extinguisher. Halogen extinguishers are more expensive
than a dry chemical, but offer certain advantages should you ever need to use an
extinguisher. The Halogen extinguisher discharges a clean, easily removable substance
that is not harmful to the mechanics or wiring of the laser system. The dry chemical
extinguisher discharges a sticky, corrosive powder that is very difcult to clean up.
• Stacking materials (especially organic materials such as paper) can lead to
increased risk of ame propagation or work piece ignition.
• Never operate your machine unattended. There is a signicant risk of re if the
machine is set improperly, or if the machine should experience a mechanical or
electrical failure while operating.
• Always use the air assist, especially while vector cutting. Vector cutting
movements are relatively slow and apply an extremely large amount of heat to the
workplace. This buildup of heat can create a signicant re risk.
• Never run laser with lid open. Always be sure the lid is closed and never tamper with
lid safety mechanism.
• Always keep the area around the machine clean and free of clutter, combustible
materials, explosives, or volatile solvents such as acetone, alcohol, or gasoline.
• Always use air assist when vector cutting.
• Be cautious when vector cutting. Many materials have the potential to burst suddenly
into ames – even materials that may be very familiar to the user. Always monitor the
machine when it is operating
• Vector cutting with the laser has the most potential to create an open ame.
Acrylic in all its different forms has been shown to be especially ammable when vector
cutting with a laser.
• Never cut pvc (polyvinyl chloride) under any circumstances: fumes are highly
toxic and potentially lethal.
• Never store any ammable materials in the inside of the device or in the
immediate vicinity of the device. Debris and left over produced materials within the
machine must be removed to prevent re hazard.

Electrical Safety & References
CAUTION
The power supply is capable of outputting DC 20,000V at up to 20mA. This power is also provided to the
discharge terminals on the laser tube itself. Your laser shipped with silicone terminal covers that prevent
access to bare wiring—notify Full Spectrum Laser support and immediately cease operations if these covers
ever slip and expose bare wire.
Electrical Safety
• Do not open any of the machine’s access panels while the unit is plugged in.
Opening a panel may expose the operator to the unit’s AC input power. The AC
input power is potentially lethal and is located on the far right within the cabinet.
• Never make or break any electrical connections to the system while the unit
is turned on.
• Never access the electronics area with hands or tools unless the unit is
disconnected from power for at least one hour.
• Never replace the installed 10 amp fuse with a fuse of a higher rating. This
will void your warranty and the electronics will not be adequately protected from
surges or short circuits.
• POWER ON/OFF is controlled by the switch at the back of the machine. To power
the machine on, press the (-) side down. To turn power off, press the “o” side down.
• In case of a blown fuse always contact Technical Support before replacing
any fuses.
The standard reference for laser safety is the American Standard for the Safe Use of Lasers, Z136.12000, developed
by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). This reference is the basis for many of the federal regulations
for laser and laser system manufacturers, and for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) laser
safety guidelines. It contains detailed information concerning proper installation and use of laser systems. While
the ANSI standard itself does not have the force of law, its recommendations, including warning signage, training,
and the designation of a laser safety ofcer, may be compulsory under local workplace regulations when operating
laser systems above Class I. It is the operator’s responsibility to ensure that the installation and operation of the Full
Spectrum Laser Hobby Laser System is performed in accordance with all applicable laws. Copies of ANSI Standard
Z136.12000 are available from: LASER INSTITUTE OF AMERICA 12424 RESEARCH PARKWAY, SUITE 125

Section II. Unboxing Your Muse
Your Muse will require careful unboxing and examination of parts. You will need two able-bodied adults to
lift and place the machine.
Unboxing Steps
Follow these instructions for best results:
1. Prepare Work Space: You will need an open, level work space to place your laser cutter. A solid table
with adequate room for the machine is recommended (the machine’s dimensions are 32” x 20” x 8.75”). Be
sure the table is free of clutter and can support a minimum of 100 lbs. (the machine weighs 70 lbs. on its own).
2. Place Box: Set the box on a at space near where you will place the machine (such as the oor).
Open the box carefully from the top. If you use a cutting tool to open the box, be careful not to allow the
cutting edge to cut past the cardboard box. Always use all tools with caution and only as specied by the
manufacturer.
3. Remove Packaging: Gently remove the following from the box: the honeycomb table, the Quick Start
Guide and the top (4) foam pieces securing the machine.
4. Remove Accessories: Nestled in packing foam, inside the interior of the machine, are the following
parts and accessories: a plastic bag with cords and small accessories, and the coolbox. Inspect these
parts to ensure they are accounted for and intact.
5. Place Muse 3D: This will require two adults as the machine weighs approximately 70 lbs.Standing on
both ends, grip the machine from the bottom and gently lift the machine out of the box,leaving the bottom
foam still inside the box. Place on the clean, at table you plan on keeping it. Your Muse 3D is now unboxed.
6. Inspect your Muse 3D: If have any questions, contact your sales representative or customersupport.
Refer to your Muse 3D Quick Start Guide or download the Muse 3D User Manual for assembly instructions.
Fragile Parts! Be gentle in removing the foam packaging and accessories. Never
pull or force the packaging loose from the laser cutter. Be particularly aware that
the water inlet and outlet nodes protrude from the tube and are extremely fragile
when unboxing your laser tube

3.Ventilate Outside: Set the open end outside of a window or an installed ventilation outlet. Check your
system for leaks—most can be remedied with duct tape. Please be aware that the protective housing is
not designed to be airtight; the front grill is designed to allow an exhaust system to draw fresh air through
the work area.
4.Connect to Power: Plug the exhaust fan power cord into the lower power plug marked “exhaust fan” on
the back of your Muse 3D. Note that accessories plugged into the back of your Muse 3D will only turn on
when the laser is red (as intended to save power).
5.Fume Extractor Upgrade (optional): You can also upgrade to a fume extractor. Fume extractors are air
puriers that clean the air through HEPA Filters. Fume extractors do not require outside ventilation. This is
a great choice for workshops that do not have the option to ventilate outside.
Both the extractors and the lters are available on the Full Spectrum Laser website at
http://fslaser.com/laser-accessories/
Ask a customer support representative which fume extractor is right for your needs.
Fume Extractor lters require routine cleaning and replacement, dependent on use and materials cut.
Generally, fume extractor suction will diminish and odors will be detected as lters clog.

Assembly Stage 4: Assemble the Air Compressor
Air isused as a pressurized gas to assist in cutting and engraving operations. This pressurized
air iscritical to safe and efficient cutting operations as it not only helps cut through material more
quickly, but also helps prevent the formation of flames. For Coolbox users, skip this step and refer to
Appendix A: Coolbox Assembly.
1. Attach Push Fitting:Remove the air compressor from its packaging. Gently attach the airhose
push fitting to air compressor.
Figure 3.13
2. Attach Air Hose to Air Compressor: Push one end of the black air inlet hose into the air
compressor push fitting until it is snug.
PRO TIP! We recommend that you attach the laser and water
pump to a power strip and use that to control the mains power
to the unit - this ensures that the water pump is always on when
the laser is powered.
CAUTION! Make sure that there are no air bubbles inside
of the water jacket of the laser tube. Air bubbles can create
local hot spots in the lasing chamber and reduce the lifetime
of your tube. If present, water bubbles typically migrate
to the electrodes on either end of the tube. You should
visually inspect the laser tube to make sure that bubbles are
not present; slightly tilting the laser while powering on the
circulation pump is usually sufficient to remove bubbles.
NOTE: Not needed if
you have a coolbox
