Maintenance
⚠️ Caution
Disconnect power before maintaining the product.
Clean or replace the field lens protector
If the laser power decreases, for example, engraved patterns are shallow or materials cannot be cut through, the field lens protector may be dirty or damaged. First, try cleaning the lens protector. If the problem persists after cleaning, remove the lens protector for inspection and determine whether it needs to be replaced.
(1) Remove the lens guard, then use lens wipes or a lint-free cloth (xTool Lens Wipes recommended) moistened with alcohol to clean the lens protector.
Required: Cleaning tools (not included)
