02 Safety instructions and intended use
Use device only in original condition
The use of a device that has recognizable
defects or that has adaptations that have
not been approved by Mr Beam Lasers
GmbH is not permitted and can lead to
property damage or bodily injury due to
escaping laser light, among other things.
»Before starting each use, you are
obliged to check the Height Extension
for externally visible defects, damage or
conspicuous features. Possible defects
are gaps to the housing and missing
screws. Any changes detected, including
unusual operating behavior, must be
rectified immediately. Further use of the
Height Extension is excluded until the
defect has been completely remedied.
»Only operate the Mr Beam Lasercutter
with the Height Extension when all 14
screws are screwed in and close the
unit opaque.
»Only use the Height Extension with
devices and spare parts that are
included in the scope of delivery and/or
approved by Mr Beam Lasers GmbH.
»Do not remodel or disassemble the
Height Extension under any circums-
tances.
Avoid personal injury when removing the
floor slab
Failure to properly replace the base plate
with the Height Extension may result in
personal injury.
»Wear work gloves both for removing the
base plate and for installing the Height
Extension.
»Avoid direct contact with the sharp
edges of the grid base. Failure to do so
may result in cuts.
Intended use
Your Mr Beam Height Extension is
designed to extend the working range of
the Mr Beam laser cutter. It is compatible
with Mr Beam II, dreamcut, dreamcut
[S] and dreamcut [x] models. All other
applications are not intended.
By using the Height Extension, objects
with a maximum height of 68 mm can be
processed. The original working height of
38 mm is extended by 30 mm.
With the aid of the enclosed cutting frame,
materials can be cut as usual with focus at
normal bottom level.

Prepare Mr Beam

3. Place the Mr Beam with the protective
cover [3] facing down on a soft surface to
avoid damage.

the contour follows the handles of the
Mr Beam and all screw holes match
those of the housing.
2. First screw all screws loosely into the
thread.
3. Then fix all screws flush, so that the
housing is closed opaque again.
4. Then turn the Mr Beam over again and
use it as usual.

removing the base plate to avoid

06 Cleaning
Clean Height Extension & Cutting Frame
1. Remove all material residues from the
housing and the cutting frame before
each laser job.
2. Clean the base and the cutting frame
with a mild soap solution or washing-up
liquid in low concentration.
3. If necessary, remove the base of the
Cutting Frame (see below) or the
Height Extension [6] for more intensive
cleaning, as described in Chapter 04
Commissioning for the original base.
Remove the bottom of the cutting frame
1. Remove all Sti[x] from the Cutting
Frame [8].
2. Turn the Cutting Frame [8] over.
3. Carefully pull the base [12] upwards
at the round recess so that it can be
pushed over the edge of the cutting
frame [8].
4. Push the base [12] so far that the
extensions on the cutouts of the cutting
frame [8] slip out and you can remove
the base [12].
Insert the bottom of the Cutting Frame
1. For insertion, place the base [12] with
the widenings at the recesses of the
cutting frame [8].
2. Carefully press the base [12] down in
the center and simultaneously push it
into the slot on the cutting frame [8] as
far as it will go.
Note: In order to insert the base
[12] completely into the slot,
you must push it up slightly by
reaching around it.
05 Cutting Frame, Sti[x] and Extended focus tool
Insert Sti[x] and Cutting Frame
1. Place the Sti[x] [7] at the desired
position so that one end slips into the
recess of the Cutting Frame [8]. Then lift
the Sti[x] [7] a little.
2. Then push the Sti[x] [7] against the
Cutting Frame [8] so that they do not
catch on the small elevation.
3. Place the second end of the Sti[x] [7] on
the lower edge of the Cutting Frame [8].
4. Center the Sti[x] [7] in the middle of the
Cutting Frame [8].
Note: Due to the small elevation
on both sides, the Sti[x] [7] are
now secured against self-suppor-
ting displacement.
5. Repeat this process for as many Sti[x]
[7] as you like.
6. Then place the Cutting Frame [8] in your
Mr Beam with Height Extension.
Now you can cut or engrave thinner objects
as usual with normal focus.
To remove the Sti[x] [7], lift it slightly at one
end and push it against the Cutting Frame
[8] at this end. Then remove the Sti[x] [7] at
the opposite end.
