General Safety
● If you detect a strong, sharp smell that also causes eyes, nose, or throat irritation, or
if there is visible smoke escaping your Glowforge printer while the lid is closed, your
Glowforge Air Filter is not operating properly. Follow all instructions in this manual.
If the irritation and/or smoke emissions do not abate, discontinue using your
Glowforge Air Filter and contact support.
● Do not disconnect the hose, open the case, touch anything inside, or perform any
maintenance or operations while the Glowforge Air Filter is plugged in.
● The Glowforge Air Filter has sparking parts inside. Do not use in areas where gasoline,
paint, flammable liquids, or gases are used or stored.
● Do not use the Glowforge Air Filter without a Filter Cartridge.
● Do not plug in the Glowforge Air Filter while the lid is open or the latches are not fully
engaged. Doing so could cause electric shocks or physical harm from moving parts.
