Cleaning the system
1. Aperture window cleaning
Use a soft cloth and medical grade isopropyl alcohol for cleaning the aperture window. If
necessary, you can detach the aperture window by unscrewing the 4 socket bolts (see User
Manual) and clean the back side of the window too. Sometimes it is necessary to perform this task
if the humidity causes condensation inside of the laser.
2. Cooling fans cleaning
Use compressed air for cleaning the bottom part of the laser system. There are cooling fans located
at the bottom of the heat sink and they are vital for correct operation of the laser system. Please
always ensure that they are spinning freely.
You should perform this service every 2 months if the laser is used regularly or even more often if it
is used in dusty conditions.
3. Internal optics cleaning
The cleaning of the internal optical components should be performed by an authorised technician
only. Incorrect techniques or wrong choice of chemicals used for cleaning could cause serious
damage to the laser system. Due to the fact that the optical compartment is split and sealed from
the rest of the laser system it shouldn't be necessary to perform this procedure more often than
once a year.
