MAINTENANCE

The ordinary maintenance program of the laser marker includes only simple operations.
Some operations consist in a mere “check” of the operating condition.

The maintenance activities must be done in compliance with the legal directives regard-
ing the safety rules during these operations.

The following parts/functions have to be controlled periodically:

Check / Clean

Weekly: wipe gently with a dry cloth (or
soaked in high purity isopropyl alcohol) or
clean it with dry air blowing

Clean / Replace

Every 3 months (according to the environ-
ment and frequency of use)
