Section 11: Engraving Machine Cleaning

In addition to the focus lens and the mirror directly above it, there is a mirror located on the left side
of the X-beam. This mirror is very well protected and should not need regular cleaning. It can be
accessed with a cotton swab if it does need cleaning.
The photos below shows how to clean the focus lens. Remove the lens carraige from
the machine to clean both the top and bottom of this lens.
Cleaning and Lubricating the Bearing Rails
The bearing system in the laser should be cleaned about once a week depending on
use. Use a soft cloth or cotton swab with some alcohol or similar mild solvent to
clean each of the bearing tracks which the optics (mirror and lens) run along. A
cotton swab is perfect for cleaning out the inside of the grooved tracks of the x-axis
rail. About once every three months, you should lubricate the bearings. Using the
lubricant Syringe from your accessory kit, apply a thin bead of grease into the bearing
grooves. Each rail has two grooves – one on the top and one on the bottom of the rail.
The grease should go down inside the grooves on each side of the bearing.
