• Always be sure your water, air, exhaust, and power systems are properly assembled and operating normally.
• Be sure that the machine and workspace are clutter-free.
• Be aware of any material warnings and that you are working in a well-ventilated workspace.
• Check that your fire extinguisher is up to regulation and is easily accessible.
• Always follow all safety protocol.
Weekly
• Wipe down the walls of the machine with a clean rag.
• Use optical grade lens wipes to clean both sides of the beam combiner, all mirror surfaces, the focus lens,
and the tube aperture. Optic surfaces may need to cleaned more often if cutting materials produce excessive
residue (possibly daily).
• Clean fallen debris from the catch tray of the machine. Less excess material will reduce fire risk, and
provide for better exhausting.
• Always keep rails, motors and moving parts free from excess material as it can obscure movement and
cause damage.
Monthly
• Check rail lubrication. When the laser arrives, you should be able to visibly see the lubricant on the X and Y
rails. These rails will not need to be re-lubricated often, but check monthly to be sure that the rails are properly
lubricated and aren’t grinding or catching.
• Check your fume extractor filters. Depending on your output and the materials being cut, your fume
extractor filters may need to be replaced as often as every month (or sooner).
Quarterly
• Change water in cooling system. This will keep your tube safe from unwanted debris, mold or evaporation.
• A chiller system is enclosed and will stay relatively clean and undisturbed, but it is good practice to
checkand change the water as needed.
• Check for wear on belts. Well lubricated belts should last, however, eventually they may wear and crack
and need replacement.
