QUICK START GUIDE

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 ange 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

tting to the air compressor.

2. Push one end of the black air inlet hose over the air compressor push

tting 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 tting.

E. CONNECT POWER

1. The power cord plugs into a “C14” power receptacle located on the right

side of the machine.

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.

F. CONNECT THE ETHERNET CABLE

1. Locate and remove the included Ethernet cable from its packaging.

2. Plug in the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet slot on your Muse.

3. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into your computer’s Ethernet slot.

4. Connect Via Router (Recommended): Router connectivity is more reliable than

directly connecting via Ethernet and should be the primary way of connecting.

You can also connect via Wi-Fi.

C. ASSEMBLE THE WATER SYSTEM

- If using a water chiller, attach the inlet and outlet water tubing as shown in

the diagram above. Add distilled water as instructed.

1. If using a water pump/bucket system, remove the water pump from its

packaging and gently screw on the plastic tting.

2. Push one end of one of the two (2) silicone water tubes onto the water

pump tting. 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.

Your Muse will require some minor assembly of the accessory systems, such as the water system. 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.

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 re 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 re.

KEEP the area around the machine clean and free of clutter,

combustible materials, explosives, or volatile solvents such as acetone,

alcohol or gasoline.

KEEP YOUR LASER SYSTEM CLEAN – A build-up 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.

ALWAYS keep a properly maintained and inspected 5lbs. or larger

re extinguisher on hand. Full Spectrum Laser recommends a

C02 re extinguisher.

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.

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 specically directed

to by support, as electronics have high voltage components.

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.

ATTENTION! The laser must be powered on when operating the

software or when connecting the laser via the Ethernet cable.

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.

1. Safety First: Ensure workspace is free of re, electrical and other safety

hazards. Be aware of all safety issues when cutting materials with a laser.

Always have a re 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 owing 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 le will t within the cutting

area. Adjust accordingly.

8. Run the job le. Do not leave a job running unattended.

To ensure the maximum output for your laser cutter, be aware of periodic

maintenance requirements. 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 re 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 re-

lubricated often, but check monthly to be sure that the rails are properly

lubricated and aren’t grinding or catching.

Check your fume extractor lters. Depending on your output and the

materials being cut, your fume extractor lters 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.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

The following safety guidelines are meant to highlight the most common

safety violations. Use of controls or procedures other than those specied

herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure, res or electric shock.

Please refer to your user manual for a complete listing of safety protocol.

The CO2 and Alignment Laser beams were matched to follow the same path

through the mirrors and re down the center of the focusing head. Before

starting your rst job, check to see that the alignment has not been altered

by the shipping process.

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.

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

alignment and testing procedures. To actually run jobs, you will need to

access the RetinaEngrave 2.0 software.

1. Open the Safety Lid: You will need to access the interior of the machine.

2. Place Thermal Paper: Take a small piece of thermal paper (approx. 15

mm should be plenty) and place it over the focal lens under Mirror#3.

3. 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 re the

laser with the safety lid open. Regardless, never attempt to re 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 ring 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 re 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.
