• It may be necessary to use a cotton ball or fluffed cotton swab instead of a lens wipe to uniformly
clean the entire surface of small-diameter mounted optics.
Required cleaning materials
The table below lists the type and grade of materials required to properly clean optical surfaces.

Cleaning optics
1 1 Shut off and lock out all power to the laser. You must verify that the laser is OFF (in a zero-
energy state) before continuing with the optical inspection!
2 Visually inspect all optical surfaces in the beam path for contaminants.
3 Remove loose contaminants from the optic by holding a clean air bulb at an angle to the optic
and blow a stream of air at a glancing angle across the lens surface. Repeat as necessary.
4 Dampen a lens wipe with the selected cleaning agent. Alcohol (least aggressive) is best for
initial surface cleaning. Acetone (moderately aggressive) is best for oily residue or minor baked-
on vapors and debris.
5 Gently, and without applying pressure, drag the damp lens wipe across the optical surface in a
single pass. Do not rub or apply any pressure, especially when using a cotton swab. Drag the
wipe without applying any downward pressure.
6 Carefully examine the optic under suitable lighting. Certain contaminants or damage such as
pitting cannot be removed. In these cases, the optic must be replaced to prevent catastrophic
failure.
7 Repeat Steps 4 through 6 as required, removing all traces of contaminants and depos-its.
