8. Maintenance
•
Wear safety goggles during the entire aligning process.
•
Avoid attaching the tape directly to the mirror.
•
Less than 15% of the maximum power (not Min.) should be sufficient to leave a
clear mark without setting the testing tape on fire.
•
Always make sure the path is clear between the laser and its target. Never
allow foreign objects between the laser and its target. Always close the cover
before firing the laser. Do not look directly at the active laser through the
cover during this procedure.
Once reflected by Mirror 1 and then Mirror 2, the laser beam hits Mirror 3. That is to say, when the
laser tube is properly aligned with Mirror 1 and Mirror 1 is well aligned with Mirror 2, to align Mirror 2
is actually to align it with Mirror 3.
Tools Needed: Masking tape
Step 1. Attach a piece of masking tape to the
frame of Mirror 3.
Step 2. Put on safety goggles and turn on the
machine and set the power level to 15%
of the maximum power or lower.
Step 3. Close the cover.
Step 4. Fire the laser.
