Overview

Accumulation of dirt and debris on the motion system components will cause uneven or rough engraving, loss of
engraving position and premature failure. Accumulation of smoke or dirt on optics can result in loss of laser power
and premature failure. It is important to keep your laser system as clean as possible to ensure trouble free
operation and best results from laser processing. Always turn the laser engraving system OFF and unplug it
before performing any cleaning procedures.
