problem for new users of any laser machine. Make sure to clean it often, especially if cutting on a regular
basis. Lenses that are kept clean last longer.

Installation guide for further information on how to install.
Maintenance Schedule
Focal lens:
This is the lens that is used to focus the laser beam. This lens should be cleaned at least once per week. It
is not possible to clean the lens while it is mounted in the focal tube. The laser beam alignment should be
checked after cleaning is completed. If there is any incident of fire or large issue of smoke/fumes, then it is
advised to check the lens and clean it. Use denatured alcohol and/or acetone as the cleaning solvent. Use
a lens tissue or cotton tipped swabs (Q-Tips) to apply the solvent. Len wipes with alcohol-free solution will
also do the trick. Do not scrape the lens. Use the solvent to dissolve the dirt from the lens surface. Only use
a soft swirling motion when applying the solvent. Use a dry swab in soft swirling motion while evaporating
the solvent. Use as many swabs as needed to result in a clean lens surface. The lens surface should be
somewhat difficult to see. Look at a reflection in the lens to help see dirt on the surface. Make sure to clean
the lens and not leave water marks or dirt smears.
The focal lens should be replaced if it is cracked, the coating is scratched, the core material is darkened, the
coating is delaminating, or any other significant damage is found.
Some minor blemishes are acceptable,
but these problems waste power and will result in reduced laser power at the target material. Any dirt,
contaminate, or damage to the lens will cause the lens damage faster.
