Inspect beam delivery components for signs of dust or debris and clean as required. When
cleaning the optical surfaces of beam delivery components, carefully follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.

Visually inspect the exterior housing of the laser to ensure that all warning labels are present.
Refer to the Laser Safety chapter for f201 label types and locations.
Storage/shipping
When preparing the laser for storage or shipping, remember to drain cooling water from the laser. In cold
climates, any water left in the cooling system may freeze, which could damage internal components. After
draining thoroughly, use compressed shop air at no more than 29 PSI (wear safety glasses!) to remove
any residual water. When finished, cap all connectors to prevent debris from entering the cooling system.
When shipping NOVANTA lasers to another facility, we highly recommend that you ship the unit in its
original NOVANTA shipping container. If you no longer have the original shipping box and inserts, contact
NOVANTA Customer Service about purchasing replacement packaging. Refer to Packaging instructions
in the Technical Reference chapter for detailed instructions on properly packaging the laser for shipment.
Important Note: Failure to properly package the laser using NOVANTA-supplied shipping boxes
and foam/cardboard inserts as shown in the Packaging instructions may void the warranty.
Customers may incur additional repair charges for shipping damage caused by improper packaging.
Cleaning optical components
Debris or contaminants on the laser’s output coupler or external beam delivery components may affect
laser processing and lead to damage or failure of the optics and/or the laser. Carefully follow the steps
below to inspect and clean the optical components in the beam path. Before beginning the cleaning
process, read this entire section thoroughly to ensure that all cleaning materials are available and that each
step is completely understood.
Danger: Serious Personal Injury
Ensure that DC power to the laser is turned off and locked out before inspecting optical components
in the beam path. Invisible CO

laser radiation is emitted through the aperture. Corneal damage or
blindness may result from exposure to laser radiation.
