OPERATOR’S MANUAL FOR LS SERIES

Air filters:

Please consult your user appropriate user manual(s) for cleaning or replacing the air

filters. Air filters work best when air is able to move through them and catch the specs

of dust, fumes, and other crap in the air. If a filter is too dirty, then the air pressure will

be adversely reduced. It can be very important to get the bad smells out of the room.

Some off-gasses from the laser cutting process can be caustic, nauseating, volatile,

corrosive, or even deadly. It is best to use multiple stages of filters to catch the different

sizes of particles.

Nuts/Bolts:

If concerned about these items rusting, then you should apply a thin coating of silicone-

base grease. One application per year should be enough.

Coolant:

Firstly, automotive antifreeze should not be used as a laser coolant. The best coolant is

deionized water. In the absence of deionized water, distilled water can be used. Tap

water should be a much later resort. The coolant should always be clean and clear. It is

a common problem for the coolant to become infested with mold. This often looks like

a murky green water with algae build up on the inner walls of the hoses. The solution is

a multi-step process.

1. Flush out the bad water

2. Add fresh water with 20 percent bleach. Cycle the bleach-water for 30 minutes. Flush

this water out also.

3. Switch the inlet and outlet hoses and flush with more water. This should dislodge

mold from inside the laser tube.

4. The flow safety sensor could also be full of mold. The best solution is to take it apart

and clean with a soft brush or pipe cleaners. Make sure to re-assemble the sensor

correctly and without leaks. It is possible that harsh cleaners could creep into the

sensor electronics and cause permanent damage.

Storage of the laser:

Clean, dry, warm location with No vibration.

Use a heater:

If your laser is expected to be exposed to temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit,

then use a heater. The laser machine is a significant investment and should be kept

warm. It is easy to put a ceramic space heater inside the laser machine with the

temperature set to something moderate. The heat will move throughout the inside of

the laser and keep the glass laser tube warm enough to not freeze or crack. A sudden

shock of icy cold water rushing into the warm glass can break the glass laser tube. What

to do about the water pump, bucket, or chiller?
