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.
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.
When cleaning the optics, jogging the laser closer to the front of the machine will allow for easier access.
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.
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.
Never use Alcohol or Hardware grade Acetone, they contain impurities which can damage the optics in your machine.
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.
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.
Clean the vents inside the machine with a flexible or wire brush.
