Water Tank Maintenance
1. Change water every 30 days to remove
particles and compensate for
evaporation.
2. Check water level daily. Remove cap to
check water level. Add distilled water
if needed.
3. Check to verify water is circulating by
removing the cap to the water bottle.
Check daily.
4. Check for mold. Must be cleaned with
bleach if mold develops.
Cleaning
Clean every 4 to 5 hours of use or once
per day. Material that produces larger
amount of smoke, such as wood, cleaning
is recommend more frequent. Use
extreme caution when cleaning the lens.
If any scratches or pitting can be seen on
the surface, the lens must be replaced.
These imperfections reduce power and
will result in less energy reaching the
work piece.
Any contaminant left on the lens will
result in the debris absorbing more
energy, which can damage the lens
surface.
Materials needed for cleaning mirrors
and lenses:
• Finger cots or latex/vinyl gloves,
powder free.
• Cotton tipped swabs or lens wipes with
alcohol free solution.
Procedure for cleaning the focus lens:
1. Remove the lens from the lens holder,
see figure 41.
2. Dip the swab or lens wipe in the lens
cleaner solution, use a gentle circular
motion to clean the lens surface.
3. Use dry swabs or wipes to gently dry
the lens surface.
4. Reassemble the focus lens in the lens
holder
Procedure for cleaning mirrors:
Never remove the
mirrors for cleaning!
Take extra caution to not move the
orientation of the mirrors as this will
affect laser beam alignment and would
require time intensive laser beam
realignment.
The materials needed are the same as for
the lenses.
Remember to check alignment after
cleaning the mirrors, especially if they
have been removed for cleaning. All the
same precautions apply as for cleaning
the lenses.
Procedure for cleaning the
laser tube lens (Lens 1):
This lens is located at the output end of
the laser tube and should be cleaned
once every two months.
Be extra cautious when cleaning this
lens. It cannot be removed from the laser
tube. Any damage to the lens results in a
damaged laser tube.
