This tutorial goes over the process of cutting on the Glowforge.

General Rules while Cutting

• Make sure to watch the print happen the entire time.
• If there looks to be a lot of fire, stop the print by hitting the big red Off button to the right of the Glowforge.
• If that doesn’t put out the fire, open the Glowforge throw the fire blanket which should be close to the Glowforge over the fire (This has never had to happen). If that doesn’t put out the fire, throw the fire alarm and evacuate the building.
• If you must leave the laser, hit the white button to pause. When you return, hit the white button again to resume.
