Replacing the Laser Tube
Laser Tube Replacement Steps
1. Power Off Machine: Power off and unplug your unit. Wait at least 1 hour for capacitors to discharge.
2. Disconnect Water: Detach the water tubes from their connectors on the laser tube and drain the water into a bucket.
3. Remove Water Tubes (Step One): Remove the two (2) water tubes from the bulkheads onthe back of the machine and
carefully drain any water into a bucket. Use the small piece of tubing that shipped with your laser to shunt the two water
bulkheads in the back of the machine together.
4. Remove Water Tubes (Step Two): Gently remove the water tubes from the laser glass bulkhead. Be careful not to let
any excess water in the tubes spill onto the machine's components.
5. Remove Tube Retainer Straps: Using a 2.5mm hex wrench (included with your purchase),remove the four (4) M5 hex
nuts from the two (2) tube retainer straps that hold the laser tube in the rubber restraints.
6. Remove Old Laser Tube: Remove the tube from the rubber holders and carefully set it on top of the machine. Be
aware the laser tube is still connected to the machine's wiring. Do not pull on the wiring.
7. Remove Universal Laser Pin Connector:
Carefully unscrew the universal laser pin connector off the
aperture end of the laser tube. Next unclip the connector
on the other side of the laser tube. You can now place the
old laser tube aside for later disposal.
8. Reattach Universal Laser Pin Connector:
Reverse step 8. Screw the universal laser pin connector
on to the aperture end of new laser tube and clip the
connector back to the other end of the laser tube.
9. Place New Laser Tube: Place the new tube into
the rubber holders in the same orientationas the old
tube was in when it was removed (with the glass coils
oriented to the RIGHT when facing the machine).
10. Re-Attach Tube Retainer Straps. Gentle place the tube restraining straps back into position over the rubber
holders and secure the new laser tube in place.
11. Re-Thread Hex Nuts. Carefully re-thread the M5 hex nuts onto the U-bolt posts and make snug (but not yet
tight) with the rear panel.
12. Re-Attach Water Tubes. Carefully re-attach the water tubes to the proper laser connection bulkheads. Make
sure that the water tube routing and locations match the original configuration.
NOTICE
Now that you have switched the old laser tube for the new laser tube. You will
need to retest the mirror alignment and possibly go through the mirror alignment
procedure again.
