surface, until the optic is free of visible contamination. At that point, prepare a fresh swab and clean the
surface with a gentle zigzag motion across it. Avoid any hard "scrubbing" of the surface, especially while
there are visible particles on it, and try not to use repetitive circular motions. When you are done, be careful
to remove any cotton threads that may have snagged on the mountings, and allow the optics to dry before you
operate your engraver.
LASER TUBE
The laser tube used in the Legend does have a maximum service life. The amount of engraving time that you
get from a tube will depend to a large extent on how much material you remove from your plaques. Typical
operating tube life is 10,000 – 20,000 hours. Depending on your particular usage, the tube should be good for
a very long time. The tubes can be refurbished and are available on an exchange basis.
