7 Maintenance
The use of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous
laser radiation exposure.
Before any cleaning or maintenance work, always switch off the engraver and
disconnect it from its power supply.
Always keep the system clean, as flammable debris in the working and exhaust areas
constitutes a fire hazard.
ONLY allow trained and skilled professionals to modify or disassemble this
engraver.
Follow the instructions below when maintaining:
•
Clean and cool water or laser-safe coolant must be provided to the system at all times.
•
Confirm the tank is at least two-thirds full before and after each use.
•
The workbed must be cleaned and the waste bin emptied every day.
•
The lenses of the 1st and 2nd mirror housing, the 3rd mirror, the focus lens, and the camera
must be checked every day and cleaned if required.
•
The exhaust system must be checked every week and cleaned if required.
•
The guide rails should be cleaned and lubricated at least twice a month.
•
The air assist must be checked every month and cleaned if required.
•
All other components of the laser machine should be checked every month and cleaned where
required.
•
Replace your coolant every three months for best results. Even if it is visibly clean month after
month, drain it, clean the entire system, and replace it at least once a year.
In commercial settings, keep a cleaning and maintenance log in a visible location near the engraver.
Have operators date and sign the log as cleaning and maintenance are carried out.
