This process should take less than an hour to complete. Your Muse User Manual has complete assembly instructions. A. LOCATE AND CUT YELLOW ZIP TIES - Cut and remove the yellow zip ties that secures the laser head to the back of the machine. B. CONNECT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM 1. Position ducting on Muse exhaust port and secure with 4” ducting clamp. 2. Attach other end of ducting to flange side of exhaust fan, then the second ducting to the exit port of the exhaust fan. 3. Ventilate the ducting outside through a window or exhaust port. - If using a fume extractor, you can attach the ducting from Muse directly to the fume extractor, and bypass the exhaust fan completely. D. ASSEMBLE THE AIR COMPRESSOR 1. Remove the air compressor from its packaging. Gently attach on the push fitting to the air compressor. 2. Push one end of the black air inlet hose over the air compressor push fitting until it is snug. 3. Insert the other end of the black air inlet hose into the “air inlet” nozzle in the back of laser cutter via the barbed air connect fitting. E. CONNECT POWER 1. The power cord plugs into a “C14” power receptacle located on the right side of the machine. C. ASSEMBLE THE WATER SYSTEM 2. Follow the diagram and connect all power connections to a central power bank and then plug the power strip into an appropriate wall outlet. - If using a water chiller, attach the inlet and outlet water tubing as shown in the diagram above. Add distilled water as instructed. F. CONNECT THE ETHERNET CABLE 1. If using a water pump/bucket system, remove the water pump from its packaging and gently screw on the plastic fitting. 2. Plug in the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet slot on your Muse. 2. Push one end of one of the two (2) silicone water tubes onto the water pump fitting. Now attach the other end of that tubing to the “water inlet” located at the back of machine. Completely submerge the assembled water pump in the bucket of distilled water. 3. Fill a clean 5 gallon bucket (not included) with 3 - 4 gallons of distilled water. It is best to use a bucket with a lid and cut two holes to secure the water tubing. This will prevent debris from contaminating the water. 4. Push one end of the other silicone water tubing onto the “water outlet”. Place the other end of the water tubing into bucket of distilled water. 1. Locate and remove the included Ethernet cable from its packaging.

SAFETY GUIDELINES The following safety guidelines are meant to highlight the most common safety violations. Use of controls or procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure, fires or electric shock. Please refer to your user manual for a complete listing of safety protocol. ACCESS RETINAENGRAVE 2.0 There is no download required for RetinaEngrave 2.0. With a local connection (achievable with the included Ethernet cable) your Muse will link with the software’s IP address. TOUCH SCREEN INTERFACE Muse’s touch panel allows you to control the basic functions of your laser without needing to connect to a computer. This is very convenient during A alignment and testing procedures. To actually run jobs, you will need to access the RetinaEngrave 2.0 software. A GENERAL SAFETY A NEVER leave your machine unattended while it is operating. ALWAYS use the air assist and the exhaust system when operating the machine. Failure to do so can increase the fire risk and cause damage to the machine’s parts, particularly the focus lens. BE AWARE that removal of any portion of the cabinet will expose a Class 4 laser system and greatly increase the risk of injury and/or fire. KEEP the area around the machine clean and free of clutter, combustible materials, explosives, or volatile solvents such as acetone, alcohol or gasoline. FIRE SAFETY KEEP YOUR LASER SYSTEM CLEAN – A build-up of cutting and engraving residue and debris is dangerous and can create a fire 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. ALWAYS keep a properly maintained and inspected 5lbs. or larger fire extinguisher on hand. Full Spectrum Laser recommends a C02 fire extinguisher. LASER SAFETY NEVER engrave or cut any material containing PVC or vinyl as corrosive gases will occur that can cause harm to the operator, as well as damage the machine and void the warranty. Never engrave or cut any unknown material. DO NOT look into the beam of the Alignment Laser (visible red diode laser). DO NOT run laser with lid open. Always be sure the lid is closed and never tamper with lid safety mechanism. 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 can be harmful if concentrated. ELECTRICAL SAFETY 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. You can use this switch should you ever need to cut power immediately. DO NOT make or break any electrical connections to the system while the unit is turned on. DO NOT access or tamper with any electronics unless specifically directed to by support, as electronics have high voltage components. B A B C BC 1. Turn On Muse: Turning on your Muse will automatically boot up your Muse touch screen interface. Allow a minute or so for the machine and touch screen to boot up. 2. Go To Settings: On the touch screen interface, push the gear icon to go to Settings. 3. Choose Network: Push “Network” at the top center of the screen. 4. Type IP Into Browser: Type IP Into Browser: On the Main Touch Screen you will see a “Wired IP” number at the bottom of the display. Using your computer, type this IP number into your favorite browser (Google Chrome, Explorer, etc). This will link you to the RetinaEngrave 2.0 interface. You now have full access to the software. You can also access a “Wireless” IP by clicking the settings icon. ATTENTION! The laser must be powered on when operating the software or when connecting the laser via the Ethernet cable. WORKFLOW CHECKLIST This checklist presents a “best practice” for each time you run a project. Refer to this checklist often until you are comfortable operating your Muse. 1. Safety First: Ensure workspace is free of fire, electrical and other safety hazards. Be aware of all safety issues when cutting materials with a laser. Always have a fire extinguisher on hand. 2. Power on the laser and all of its components. 3. Ensure that: - The laser is powered and the boot up cycle begins on the screen. - The cooling system is connected properly and water is flowing through the tube. - The air compressor is powered and exhausting air to the laser head. - The exhaust system is on and vented into a safe location. 4. Connect to RetinaEngrave 2.0 software using your machine’s touch screen to copy the software IP address into your favorite browser. The Wired IP address is displayed at the bottom of your touch screen. 5. Import your design and adjust power and speed settings. Double check settings including the number of passes and cut order. 6 Insert material into the laser bed. Use the focus tool to adjust to the top of the material. Focusing should be done each time a new material is introduced. 7. Use the “Perimeter” function to ensure that the file will fit within the cutting area. Adjust accordingly. 8. Run the job file. Do not leave a job running unattended.

Before every job, always be sure your water, air and power are operational as well as checking that the machine and workspace are clutter-free. For long term care, relative to use, follow these guidelines: WEEKLY Use optical grade lens wipes to clean both sides of the beam combiner, all mirror surfaces, the focus lens, and the tube aperture. Optic surfaces may need to be cleaned more often if cutting materials produce excessive residue. Clean fallen debris from the catch tray of the machine. Less excess material will reduce fire risk and provide for better exhausting. Always keep rails, motors and moving parts free from excess material as it can obscure movement and cause damage. MONTHLY Check rail lubrication. When the laser arrives, you should be able to visibly see the lubricant on the x and y rails. These rails will not need to be relubricated often, but check monthly to be sure that the rails are properly lubricated and aren’t grinding or catching. Check your fume extractor filters. Depending on your output and the materials being cut, your fume extractor filters may need to be replaced as often as every month. QUARTERLY Change water in cooling system. This will keep your tube safe from unwanted debris, mold or evaporation. A chiller system is enclosed and will stay relatively clean and undisturbed, but it is good practice to check and change the water as needed. MIRROR ALIGNMENT TEST The CO2 and Alignment Laser beams were matched to follow the same path through the mirrors and fire down the center of the focusing head. Before starting your first job, check to see that the alignment has not been altered by the shipping process.

Position Laser Head: Move the laser head into the upper left corner of the workspace. 4. Close Safety Lid: Safety measures should make it impossible to fire the laser with the safety lid open. Regardless, never attempt to fire the laser with safety lid open. 5. Test Fire the Laser: Press the Fire Laser Icon Button on the touch screen. 6. Repeat Test Fire in Other Three Corners: Without removing the thermal tape, repeat firing the laser once in each of the other corners of the machine (Upper Right, Lower Right, and Lower Left). 7. Check Results: With the forth corner test fire complete, open the lid and remove the thermal tape. The four burn marks should overlap each other perfectly (see illustration). If they do not overlap perfectly, you will need to align the mirrors. FSLaser.com
