5.2.5 Cleaning the Exhaust System

Check and clean the exhaust pipes and fans. The rate of dust accumulation on the exhaust fan and
pipe will vary depending on the materials processed and the working environment's air quality.
Cleaning Frequency: Weekly
Tools Needed:
• Dust brush
• Mild cleanser
• Vacuum
• Disconnect the engraver from power before cleaning.
•
Allow the fluid used for cleaning to dry completely before reusing.
1. Check the exhaust fan and surrounding pipes for excessive accumulation of dust and debris.
a. Use a brush, vacuum, or compressed air to remove large accumulation of dust and debris.
b. Use mild cleansers and soft rags or paper towels to fully clean the fan and its blades.
2. Check the seams and joints of the pipes for any damage or leaks. If any found, immediately
repair them. Caulk or special-purpose aluminum foil tape generally works best if available;
standard duct tape can deteriorate over time, especially near heated components.
Cleaning Method
Clean with lens-cleaning tissue or with cotton wetted
with lens-cleaning liquid or isopropyl alcohol in gentle
circular motions.
The 3 positioning mirrors can be cleaned in place or
removed for cleaning by turning them counterclockwise.
If any mirrors are removed for cleaning, reinstall them
by turning them into place clockwise carefully.
• Soft cloth
• Water
• Caulk
• Avoid press hard enough to grind
any debris or cause scratching.
• The semitransparent mirror at the
end of the laser tube should only
be cleaned when the engraver
is fully disconnected from power
and the tube is fully cooled.
• Take care not to touch the surface
of any mirror directly.
