OPERATOR’S MANUAL FOR LS SERIES
Maintenance Schedule
Focal lens:
This is the lens that is used to focus the laser beam. This lens should be cleaned at least
once per week. It is not possible to clean the lens while it is mounted in the focal tube.
The laser beam alignment should be checked after cleaning is completed. If there is any
incident of fire or large issue of smoke/fumes, then it is advised to check the lens and
clean it. Use denatured alcohol and/or acetone as the cleaning solvent. Use a lens
tissue or cotton tipped swabs (Q-Tips) to apply the solvent. Do not scrape the lens...
Use the solvent to dissolve the dirt from the lens surface. Only use a soft swirling
motion when applying the solvent. Use a dry swab in soft swirling motion while
evaporating the solvent. Use as many swabs as needed to result in a clean lens surface.
The lens surface should be somewhat difficult to see. Look at a reflection in the lens to
help see dirt on the surface. Make sure to clean the lens and not leave water marks or
dirt smears.
The focal lens should be replaced if it is cracked, the coating is scratched/pitted, the
core material is darkened, the coating is delaminating, or any other significant damage
is found. Some minor blemishes are acceptable, but these problems waste power and
will result in reduced laser power at the target material. Any dirt, contaminate, or
damage to the lens will cause the lens to become damaged faster.
Mirror #3:
This mirror is located directly above the focal lens. This mirror should be cleaned at
least every one month. If there is any incident of fire or large issue of smoke/fumes,
then it is advised to check the mirror and clean it. It is possible to clean the mirror in its'
mounting bracket, but highly advised to remove the mirror from position and
thoroughly clean it. The laser beam alignment should be checked after cleaning is
completed. Use denatured alcohol and/or acetone as the cleaning solvent. Use a lens
tissue or cotton tipped swabs (Q-Tips) to apply the solvent. Do not scrape the lens...

if it is pitted/scratched, rusted, discolored from heat damage, or any other significant
damage is found. Some minor blemishes are acceptable, but these problems waste
laser power and will result in reduced laser power at the target material. Any dirt,
contaminate, or damage on the mirror will cause the mirror to become damaged
faster.
