Only use the supplied power cord or an alternative that meets the unit's power requirements.
Using an inadequately-rated power cable can damage your equipment or present a fire hazard.
The Fuse Blast requires an AC circuit that can provide at least 3 A at 230 VAC (EU)
or 6 A at 120 VAC (US), as well as reliable grounding. Power surges may disrupt

operation and/or permanently damage sensitive components, jeopardizing the
reliability of the product. Formlabs suggests the use of line conditioners or UPS in
regions with voltage fluctuations ≤ 10%.
Connect the air compressor system to a separate electrical circuit from the Fuse Blast.
Ensure that the machine maintains a constant connection to a secured network. Refer to
