1.MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW.
Use of procedures other than those specified herein may result in
dangerous exposure to laser radiation. Always turn off the appliance and
disconnect it from the power supply before performing any cleaning or
maintenance work. Always keep the system clean, as flammable debris in
the work and exhaust areas poses a fire hazard. Only trained and skilled
professionals are permitted to modify or disassemble this equipment.
· Clean and cool water must be supplied to the system at all times.
· The workbench must be cleaned and the bin emptied every day.
· The third mirror and focusing lens must be inspected daily and
cleaned if needed.
· Other mirrors and exhaust systems must be inspected weekly and
cleaned if needed.
· Beam alignment should be checked weekly.
·The wiring should be checked weekly for loose connections, especially
for the laser tube power supply.
· The rails should be cleaned and lubricated at least twice a month.
· Air assistance must be inspected once a month and cleaned if
needed.
· The entire laser machine, including other components such as the
water cooling system, must be inspected once a month and cleaned if
needed.
2.Water Cooling System.
Never touch or adjust the engraver's water supply while the pump is still
connected to power.
The laser tube needs to be cooled with clean distilled water to avoid
overheating. Room temperature or slightly lower warm water is ideal.
Laser tubes require at least 2 gallons (7.5 liters) of cooled clean distilled
water or other laser-safe coolant to avoid overheating. If the water
temperature is close to 100° F (38° C), stop working until it cools
