Reduce Fire Risk with a Clean Laser

Fire Warning

Cleaning your machine 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 any small pieces that have fallen through the cutting grid.

For more information on fire safety, see “FIRE WARNING” on page 1.

As with all equipment, preventive maintenance is an important part of owning your Epilog Laser system. A laser system by its very nature creates debris and residue on every job. Over time, these by-products can build up and start to clog the components of your system. Like anything, the buildup can be almost imperceptible and easy to ignore. Since it’s guaranteed that these by-products will build up over time, it’s worth spending just a few minutes each week keeping your system clean. To extend the life of your investment, follow these simple guidelines outlined below.
