Cleaning the Water Cooling System

NEVER touch or adjust your engraver's water supply while the pump is still
connected to power.
Because distilled water can leach chemicals from your tank and/or hoses and spread these possibly
corrosive particles to the laser tube, change your water each week regardless of its level or clarity to
maximize your laser's service life.
While changing the water, clean the tank and pump completely to minimize any buildup of residue or
chemicals.
1. Turn off the laser engraver and unplug the pump.
2. Open the water tank, remove the pump, and clean both.
3. Disconnect the pump's hose, allowing it to drain, and clean it if needed.
4. Reconnect the hose and replace the pump inside the tank.
5. Add your new water to the tank.
6. Plug the pump in again and allow it to run for 2–3 minutes to restore the water throughout the
engraver's cooling system.
Before starting the laser, visually confirm water is running through the laser tube without bubbles and
check the water temperature.
