CHANGE FUME EXTRACTOR FILTERS
The fume extractor for the laser etcher has a HEPA filter and a carbon filter to capture particulate
matter and gas and odor. The fume extraction cabin is located inside the waste cabinet door. (See
Figure 8-20.)
The instrument will prompt the user if the HEPA filter needs to be changed. The carbon filter may be
changed on a yearly basis or more often, as desired.
