
KEEP
the area around the machine clean and free of clutter, combustible
materials, explosives, or volatile solvents such as acetone, alcohol, or
gasoline.

ALWAYS
keep a properly maintained and inspected fire extinguisher on hand.
Epilog recommends a Halotron fire extinguisher or a multi-purpose dry
chemical fire extinguisher. The Halotron extinguishers are more expensive
than a dry chemical, but offer certain advantages should you ever need to use
an extinguisher. The Halotron extinguisher discharges a clean, easily
removable substance that is not harmful to the mechanics or wiring of the
laser system. The dry chemical extinguisher discharges a sticky, corrosive
powder that is very difficult to clean up.

ALWAYS
use air assist when vector cutting.

BE CAREFUL!
when vector cutting. Many materials have the potential to
burst suddenly into flames – even materials that may be very familiar to the
user. Always monitor the machine when it is operating.

KEEP YOUR LASER SYSTEM CLEAN –
A build up of cutting and
engraving reside and debris is dangerous and can create a fire hazard in its
own right. Keep your laser system clean and free of debris. Regularly
remove the vector grid to clean any small pieces that have fallen through the
grid.
The single most important thing that you can do to keep your laser working as if it
were new is to keep it clean! Five minutes once a day will keep the residue and
debris from building up and causing problems. There is almost no maintenance
required for your laser if you
KEEP IT CLEAN
!
To keep your system clean use a soft cloth and a mild solvent like Isopropyl alcohol
to remove the smoke and vapor from the table, X-beam and anywhere else that
collects dirt and debris.
Cleaning the optics requires special care. Please see the instructions on the following
pages.
Cleaning the Optics
About once a week, or if you notice dust building up, you will need to clean the
optics (mirrors and lenses) of your laser. If smoke, resin, or other contaminants are
allowed to accumulate they will reduce the available laser power and may cause
damage to the optics.
The two optical components most likely to require cleaning are the focus lens and the
mirror directly above it. The lens and mirror are a single assembly, and can be
