The provided water chiller is essential to your engraver’s performance and
longevity. When this laser works without a properly maintained cooling system, its
glass tube WILL crack from excess heat.
The water chiller is not prefilled with coolant. ALWAYS check whether the chiller
has enough coolant before turning the power on.
Always fill the chiller with deionized or distilled water or a custom-purpose
laser-safe antifreeze. Using tap water will gradually degrade the quality of your
engraver and may even cause dangerous mineral buildup within the cooling
system. Never use generic antifreeze for the same reason.
3.5 Water Cooling Installation
NEVER adjust the water level within the chiller while it and the laser are connected
to power.
Fill the Water Chiller
Your chiller arrived with no distilled water or omtech laser-safe antifreeze. You should fill the water
chiller before operation (See
§
Refilling on Page 117).
