Maintenance and Repair Maintenance and Repair Care Perform the following care activities on the device at regular intervals. • Clean the objective. • Clean the ventilation slits of the covers. WARNING DANGER OF INJURIES AND/OR RISK OF PROPERTY DAMAGE. Ensure that the power plug has been pulled out before starting the cleaning tasks! -
Page 58: Cleaning The Objective
Maintenance and Repair Cleaning the objective A dirty objective reduces the transmission of the laser radiation. This leads to a reduction of the laser power on the work piece. The dirt can burn into the surface and damage the focusing objective. A protecting glass is therefore fixed in front of the objective by means of a threaded ring. -
Page 59: Cleaning The Ventilation Slits
If ambient air is heavily polluted, we recommend inserting and regularly chang- ing filter mats in the side covers. Suitable filter mats can be obtained from ACI Laser GmbH. Take off the enclosure. Remove the two fixing screws (3) from the top of the supply unit and the two screws (7) from the bottom. -
