BASIC SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Section 4-2
Optics
A visual inspection of the optics should be performed at least once a day. If the optic appears cloudy or
has material deposits formed on the surface, it should be cleaned. If, after inspection, the optic appears
visually uncontaminated, DO NOT clean the optic. Excessive cleaning can damage the optic. The
guidelines listed below describe how to handle optics:
Optics Handling Guidelines
• Wash your hands thoroughly before handling any optic.
• NEVER touch the surface of the optic with your fingers.
• NEVER clean any optic immediately after engraving or cutting.
Wait for the optic to cool, at least 3-5minutes, otherwise it may
crack from thermal shock.
• DO NOT use compressed air to clean the optic.
• DO NOT clean an optic that is visually clean. Excessive
cleaning may damage the optical coating.
• Use only cotton swabs and approved lens cleaner or reagent
grade acetone to clean the optics.
Optics Cleaning Procedure
• Dampen an unused cotton swab with lens cleaner.
• GENTLY wipe the optical surface with the damp swab. DO NOT RUB HARD.
• Control the wiping speed so that you do not leave streaks. If streaks remain, dampen an unused
cotton swab with reagent grade acetone and gently wipe the optical surface to remove the streaks.
Accessing the Optics
1. Slowly slide the X-axis Arm forward.
2. Grasp the bottom lip of the cover.
1. Rotate the cover up and over the top
of the X-axis Arm. The cover is held down
by magnets so it may “stick” slightly when
you first begin to pull it forward.
