About This Guide

Regular maintenance helps xTool P2 run optimally over a long period of time.

Caution: All of the following operations should be performed with the power off.

#1 Remove the processing residues

#2 Clean the mirrors

• The machine's processing power can be affected by surface contamination, requiring regular mirror maintenance for sustained performance.
• Refer to this guide for more information about the laser mirrors: https://support.xtool.com/article/1026

Before cleaning:

• Use latex finger cots or gloves to avoid contaminating the optic surface when installing or removing the reflector. 
• If you do not have the proper tools, do not touch the mirror's surface directly, but hold the magnetic suction ring's edge instead.
• Additionally, blow away the dust before cleaning the mirror with nitrogen or compressed air, or a rubber balloon if proper tools are not available.

Note: Skipping this step may lead to scratches on the mirror surface, resulting in irreversible damage.

How to clean:

1. Use a special cleaning solution consisting of anhydrous ethanol and moistened dust-free cotton swabs or lens paper to wipe the mirror surface in one direction carefully. 
2. If anhydrous ethanol is unavailable, spray a small amount of isopropyl onto the dirty area before wiping it with moistened dust-free cotton swabs or lens paper. 

Note: Do not wipe back and forth. 

Storage and protection: 

1. Dry the mirror with a soft cloth after wiping, especially if using slow-evaporating organic solvents like 75% disinfectant alcohol. Liquid stains can harm the coating if not wiped away thoroughly.
2. When not in use for an extended period, store reflectors in a dry and dust-free place with a protective cover.
3. Regular cleaning is recommended every 2-4 hours of use to maintain mirror reflectivity and service life.

#3 Clean and lubricate the guide rails

#4 Clean the slats

• After extended use, it's inevitable for oil stains or other residue to accumulate on the slats. This can affect the flatness of the slats and, consequently, impact the processing results.
• Follow the guide provided or watch the video below for instructions on how to clean the slats of the xTool P2.
