Handle Locks - Remove and Replace


Some Glowforge printer packages include white handle locks. They can be removed, and here we'll show you how. (If you're moving your Glowforge and can't find the handles, you can tape over the holes instead.)

 

How to remove the handle locks

  1. The four (4) handle locks are on the bottom of your box.

  2. Hold the white tab on the right side of each white box handle.
