SECTION 9: CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Laser Tube

Laser Tube
The laser tube used in your system does have a maximum service life, and there is very little maintenance that is required.
At some point in the life of the laser you will need to replace it for gas recharge, electrical repair or mechanical repair.
Replacing laser tubes is common practice and Epilog has made the process of changing tubes extremely easy for users to
perform with a minimum amount of effort. The laser tubes can be refurbished and are available on an exchange basis by
contacting Epilog technical support.
Ensure that all of the laser cooling fans are properly working at all times. The fans keep the laser tube cool and prevent it
from overheating. An overheated laser tube will produce erratic output and may fail completely.
If the laser system is in a dirty or dusty environment, make sure that the cooling fins on the laser tube are kept free of dust
buildup. Use compressed air to blow the dust and debris off of the laser tube fins. Be sure that the system is unplugged
before performing any maintenance on the machine!

Laser Tube Air Filter

To help protect your laser tube from dust, dirt and debris, we have included a filter on the back of the Fusion Laser. Every
three months, check the filter to see if it needs replacement. The filter is a standard 12" x 30" x 1" (304.8 x 762 x 25.4 mm)
furnace filter and can be found at any home store. Changing this filter is much more likely in a dustier shop environment.
