Adjustments and Lubrication

There are no periodic adjustments required. The X-axis bearings in the motion system will self adjust to
take up any clearances as they begin to wear. The belts are fiber reinforced and will not stretch under
normal use so that periodic tension adjustment is not necessary. Optical alignment is not necessary
because the laser and the #2 Mirror are fixed.
All bearings in the system are sealed and do not require lubrication. DO NOT lubricate the tracks that the
bearings ride in. The only lubrication that may be required is the screw threads for the table lifting
mechanism. After some time, contaminants can adhere to the lubricant, which can cause the engraving
table to bind up or sound squeaky. If this is the case, wipe off the contaminated grease with a soft cloth
and apply fresh white lithium grease to the screw threads. Run the table up and down to work in the fresh
grease.

Electronic Upgrading

The laser systems onboard computer is equipped with a special "Flash" upgrade technology. If the
electronic operation of the system should ever require upgrading, it can be done electronically without the
changing of any parts. The upgrade file gets downloaded from your computer to the laser system via the
parallel port. This file is then run on the laser system and it only takes a few minutes. Once the file has
completely run, the laser system will automatically restart and the new changes will take effect. For more
specific details, please refer to the instructions that will accompany the flash disk.
