7. Look for a clear and safe area where you will place the 3D printer. Then both persons need to lift the 3D printer using the left side handles to safely remove this from the package and release this from the foam protective padding.
8. Next, carefully place your 3D printer in the clear designated area to continue the setup.
9. When the 3D printer is safe to start operating, open the lid of the printer to carefully remove the X-Axis locks. For this step, make to store the removed locks in a secure place, so in case you need to use them again they can be installed and used in subsequent transportation.
