¶ When & Why
- When the accumulated processing time exceeds 20 hours. If you mainly process MDF, please clean it once the accumulated processing time exceeds 10 hours.
- When the overheating protection triggers frequently.
- After a period of laser machining, excessive dust accumulated on the heat dissipation fan may affect the heat dissipation capability.
¶ Before You Start
Turn off the power, then detach the Laser Module from the machine.
¶ Tools Required
- Cotton swabs or dust-free cloth
- Ethyl alcohol
- H1.5 screwdriver
The purity of the ethyl alcohol should be at least 75%. The 99% ethyl alcohol works best.
Do not use organic solvents to avoid damaging the product.
¶ Procedures
- Use an H1.5 screwdriver to unscrew the top cover and then remove it gently.
Note that the antenna is attached to the top cover, so remove it carefully to avoid damaging the antenna.
- Use an H1.5 screwdriver to unscrew the fan.
-
You can clean the fan while the fan cable is still plugged in. But if you want to remove the entire fan from the module for cleaning, please proceed with the following steps:
-
Use an H1.5 screwdriver to unscrew the bottom cover and then remove it gently.
- Unplug the fan cable to fully remove the fan from the laser module.
- To clean the fan, moisten a cotton swab or dust-free cloth with ethyl alcohol. Wipe the surface of the heat dissipation fan until there is no dust. Allow the alcohol to completely evaporate.
