Maintenance
Disconnect power before maintaining the product.
■ If laser power attenuation occurs, for example, engraved patterns are shallow or materials can't be cut as expected, the field lens may get dirty. Clean it with the lint-free cloth moistened with alcohol.
■ If you can't move the protective enclosure up and down smoothly, apply grease to the edges of the two sides.
■ If smoke runs out of the protective enclosure, the fan and smoke outlet may be blocked due to dust. Clean them to ensure proper smoke exhausting.
To avoid dust falling into the circuit board, slightly tilt the machine.
