All other parts of the laser machine must be checked once a month and

least once a year.
•
In commercial settings, keep a cleaning and maintenance log in a clearly visible
location near the engraver. Have operators date and sign the log as cleaning
and maintenance are carried out.
•
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 device 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 device.
