Unpacking the Fusion Ascent

Introduction

Unpack the laser system from the crate provided by Epilog. Please be sure to hold on to all packing materials and crating in case you need to move the system in the future.

1.  Start by using scissors or a utility knife to cut the box straps. Stand clear of the straps, as they are under high tension and may pop out at high speed when cut.

Now remove the strapping and the wooden box topper.
