Safety
Warning: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in injury or
damage.
Hot Nozzle: The hot nozzle sign indicates the presence of devices with high temperatures. Always
use extra care when working around heated components. Always wear the heat resistant gloves provided in the
Starter Box when working near the nozzle.
Nozzle temperatures in the printer can reach 300℃(572℉).
Hot Surface: The hot surface sign indicates the presence of devices with high temperatures.
Always use extra care when working around heated components. Always wear the heat resistant gloves provided
in the Starter Box when working near hot surfaces.
Moving Parts: The moving parts sign indicates that a hazard exists. If touched, it can cause serious
bodily injury. Always keeps hands clear of moving parts.
High Voltage: The high voltage sign indicates the presence of high voltages. Always stay away from
exposed circuitry. It is recommended that all conductors be removed.

WARNING
Precaution and Hardware Installation
⚫ Read the entire installation section before starting installation
Connect equipment to a grounded facility power source. Do not defeat or bypass the ground lead.
• Know the location of equipment branch circuit interrupters or circuit breakers and how to turn them
on and off in case of emergency.
• Know the location of fire extinguishers and how to use them. Use only ABC type extinguishers on
electrical fires.
• Know local procedures for first aid and emergency assistance at the customer facility.
• Use adequate lighting for the equipment.
• Maintain the recommended range of temperature and humidity in the equipment area.
• Do not use this product in an environment containing volatile or flammable compounds.
⚫ Environmental requirements
• E2 is for indoor use only.
• Excessive solids (conductive or non-conductive) in the air may cause system damage.
• The accumulation of oil in the air can damage the plastic parts of the printer.
• The operating temperature should be in the range of 15°C to 30°C, with a relative humidity range of 10% to 90%
without condensation. The storage temperature shall be in the range of -25°C to 55°C, and the relative humidity
range shall be 10% to 90% non-condensation.
• The altitude shall not exceed 2,000 meters.
• Noise (Acoustics) : <50dB(A) during printing
NOTE: E2 printers may generate vibrations which depend mainly on the geometry of parts being printed and
material characteristics. This will need to be taken into account if locating the printer near vibration sensitive
equipment. Please note that during transportation in low temperatures, there is a chance the machine may frost
or freeze. The printer can resume use after being kept 4 - 6 hours in an area that is room temperature.
⚫ Input supply connection and grounding
During installation, the main outlet socket should be protected according to appropriate rules. Check the input
voltage, phase, and frequency supplied to this machine before turning it on. Verify the connection of grounding
wires from the machine to the input source. The allowable input voltages are 1x (90-240)V 50Hz/60Hz. For more
information about input supply refer to the technical specification section of this manual and to the rating plate of
the machine. Make sure the amount of power available from the input connection is adequate for normal
operation of the machine.

Raise3D E2_Quick Start Guide
Use hands to remove the Z-axis and X-axis locks.
Please carefully store the removed locks, so that
they can be installed again and used in
subsequent transportation.
The top foam contains five power cords of
different standards. Please use the power cord
that conforms to your current country (or region)
and connect it to the power socket. Turn on the
switch and start the device.
Turn on the power and the printer will enter the
boot process. Your Raise3D printer will take about
60 seconds to boot. When the touch screen
displays the "Welcome" window, the printer is
ready. Then you can finish the installation and
first print according to the Setup guide.

The printers are pre-leveled at the factory, but
we recommend verifying that the leveling has not
changed during shipping.
How to level up the X-axis:
As shown in figure 1, click "Maintenance" to level
up the X-axis and it will touch the top beam until
horizontal.
Click the "Utilities" menu and home the Z-axis.
Press the upward arrow to lift the Z-axis about
0.3 mm-0.7 mm.
Check the distance between the nozzle and the
printing platform. After pushing the left extruder
to the center position on the platform, loosen the
nozzle screw.
Maintenance
- 2 1 -
www.raise3d.com
Raise3D E2_Quick Start Guide
Take out the gauge from the Accessory Kit and
insert it between the nozzle and the platform.
Adjust the nozzle so that the distance between
the nozzle and the printing platform exactly
matches the thickness of the gauge (about 0.3
mm). Tighten the nozzle screw and remove the
gauge. The other nozzle is adjusted in the same
way.
Follow the steps shown in the figure on the touch
screen to run 9-point automatic leveling.
After the 9 grid interface automatically closes, the
leveling is finished.
