System Maintenance

Reduce Fire Risk with a Clean Laser

  • Cleaning the Fusion Pro is an excellent way to prevent fire with the laser.

  • A buildup of cutting and engraving residue and debris is dangerous and can create a fire hazard in its own right.

  • Keep your laser system clean and free of debris.

  • Regularly remove the Vector Cutting Table to clean any small pieces that have fallen through the grid.

Cleaning the Optics

  • Clean your laser optics periodically or if you notice dust buildup.

  • Accumulated contaminants like smoke or resin can reduce laser power and damage the lens.

Cleaning the Lens

  • The focus lens is contained within the lens tube.

  • The lens tube is a single assembly and is fairly easy to clean.

  • Remove the lens tube from the machine for cleaning by unscrewing the captive screw on the front lens clamp using a screwdriver.

  • Hold the lens tube from the bottom while unscrewing the captive screw, as the tube may come out easily.

  • Remove the captive screw, then the lens tube. Twist off the bottom cone piece to reveal the lens.

  • To clean the lens, use a high-quality cotton swab moistened with the optics cleaner supplied in the accessory kit. Please read the label on the bottle carefully.

  • Allow the optics to dry, then twist the cone piece securely back on to the bottom of the lens tube.

  • Align the hole near the bottom of the lens tube with the air assist hole.

  • Ensure the top notch of the tube matches the insert on the assembly.

  • The tube should slightly shift when twisted. Wrap the clamp around the tube and tighten the screw.

Cleaning the Mirror

  • The mirror is located on the back side of the assembly and also has a simple cleaning process.

  • Start by opening the door latched onto the back of the assembly. The door will rotate counterclockwise to open.

  • Next, twist the knob on the right side of the assembly counterclockwise to loosen the mirror, preparing it

    for removal

  • Now remove the mirror from the assembly by sliding it out towards the back of the machine.

  • To clean the mirror, use a high-quality cotton swab moistened with the optics cleaner supplied in the accessory kit. Please read the label on the bottle carefully.

  • Tighten the securing knob and close the back door. Once the mirror is cleaned and dry, place it back into the assembly angled down towards the table.

Replacing the Lens

  • Replace the old lens with a new one by removing the lens tube from the machine.

  • Unscrew the captive screw on the front lens clamp using a screwdriver while holding the tube from the bottom.

  • Insert the new lens tube and secure it properly.

  • Insert the new tube into the assembly, aligning the hole at the bottom with the air assist hole, and the notch at the top with the insert.

  • The tube should only shift slightly when twisted. Wrap the clamp around the tube and tighten the screw.

Cleaning the Exhaust Plenum

  • Keep your exhaust blower in good shape. Clean the duct system often to get rid of debris.

  • If you notice odors or smoke near the lens carriage, check the exhaust system for loose connections or blockages.

  • Occasionally check the blower and duct work as shown in the following photos.

Cleaning the Vents

Clean the vents inside the machine with a flexible or wire brush.
