Maintenance 7-7
Adjustments and Lubrication
There are no periodic adjustments required. The 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 cartridge 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.
Fuse Replacement
If a fuse must be replaced, use only the following type:
USA
5 x 20 mm, Glass, time delay, 250V, 10A fuse, UL approved
Europe and other countries
5 x 20 mm, Glass, time delay, 250V, 5A fuse, designed to IEC
Battery Replacement
There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery manufacturer. Using an incorrect battery, recharging or disassembling the battery may present a danger due to fire or explosion. Dispose of used batteries promptly according to the local regulations.
