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
• Soft cloth
• Water
• Caulk
• 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.
