* Turn off the air assist when done. | |||
* Shut down all apps on the lab computer and log off (be sure to take any files you may have changed). | |||
* Turn off the cutter (switch on the rear left). | |||
* Turn off the exhaust and air assist compressor systems in the garage. There are 2 fans, the one with the orange housing that sucks air out of the cutter through the duct (unplug it) and the big vent on the ceiling that the duct leads to (there's a switch on the ceiling, use something long). | |||
* Clean the single lens and the two mirrors. Grab a Q-tip from above the laser cutter and the bottle of lens cleaner. Saturate the tip of the Q-Tip with 3-4 drops of the lens cleaner fluid. Using a circular motion clean off the surfaces of the mirrors and lenses with the moistened Q-Tip. Wipe up the moisture with the other end of the qtip. Dispose of the Q-Tip when done. | |||
* Open the front panel on the cutter, flip out the levers on the black tray, slide the tray out of the cutter, and empty it into the garbage. | |||
* Return the tray to the cutter, flip the levers back into the locked position, close the door and you’re done. | |||
