removed from the machine for cleaning by unscrewing the three thumbscrews on the
front lens cover.
To clean the optics use a high-quality cotton swab moistened with the optics cleaner
supplied in the accessory kit. Please read the label on the bottle carefully. Rubbing
alcohol should be used only to remove fingerprints. If you run out of the cleaner
supplied by Epilog, acetone can be used as a temporary measure, but should not be
used for regular cleaning as it contains impurities which can contaminate the optics.
If you run out of optics cleaner, pure ethyl (grain) alcohol such as “Golden Grain"
and "Everclear" are highly recommended because of their pure nature and because
they are readily available.
Wet the swab thoroughly with the solvent, and then blot it against a piece of cotton so
that it is no longer soaking-wet. Then daub the optic gently, rotating the swab after
each daub to expose clean cotton to the surface until the optic is free of visible
contamination. At that point, prepare a fresh swab and clean the surface with a gentle
zigzag motion across it. Avoid any hard "scrubbing" of the surface, especially while
there are visible particles on it, and try not to use repetitive circular motions. When
you are done, be careful to remove any cotton threads that may have snagged on the
mountings. Allow the optics to dry before you operate your engraver.
When reinstalling the lens assembly, please make sure that the Crash Bar is sitting on
top of the locating pins on the side of the carriage.
