At Boss Laser, we’ve designed our UV laser systems to be user-friendly and easy to maintain. For optimal performance and longevity, following these guidelines during maintenance is essential.

General Maintenance Guidelines

• Power Off: Always ensure the device is fully powered off and disconnected from the power supply before performing any maintenance or adjustments.
• Qualified Personnel: Those maintaining the machine need to know how to do so safely and not damage the lens.

Regular Maintenance Procedures

• Keep it Clean: Maintain a clean and dust-free work environment.
• Power Off When Idle: Turn off the device completely when not in use.
• Protect the Lens: Cover the lens when not in operation.
• Clean the Workbench: After each use, clean the workbench with a cloth moistened with at least 75% rubbing alcohol. Avoid using abrasive or caustic cleaners, aerosol sprays, or excessive water that could enter electrical components. Ensure all surfaces are thoroughly dry before the subsequent use.
• Dust Removal: Do not use compressed air; it can introduce oil and water onto the lens surface. Dust and debris from the work area can also be blown onto the lens. If using a vacuum, set it to the lowest power to avoid damaging internal components.

Lenses Cleaning Procedures:

Boss UV lasers use high-quality optical components that require no maintenance under normal operating conditions. UV laser lenses are not as hard as traditional glass, so handle them carefully to avoid damage. If the lens requires cleaning from dust or fumes, follow these guidelines:

• Do NOT Use a Dry Cloth: Even “lens-cleaning” cloths can leave micro-scratches on the lens surface when a proper cleaning solution is not used.
• No Direct Contact: Never touch the optical components with your fingers, as oils and dirt can damage the lens surfaces.
• Avoid Hard Tools: Do not use tools, fingernails, or other hard objects to clean the lens, scratches cannot be repaired.
• Proper Cleaning Technique: To remove larger dirt particles, use a lens cleaning cloth with high-proof alcohol (minimum 98%). Do not dip the cloth into the cleaning solution; instead, place drops onto the cloth. Gently clean the lens in small circular motions, starting from the center and moving outward. Do not apply pressure; ensure the entire surface is clean before finishing.

By following these maintenance guidelines, you’ll help ensure that your Boss UV laser system continues to perform at its best for years to come.
