THIS OVERVIEW IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR TRAINING, ONLY A REMINDER FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY TRAINED
The instructions on this page are not meant to be exhaustive but rather checklist reminders of use process. Browse through the ‘laser binder’ on the desk in the laser room, it contains documentation and troubleshooting tips.
Start-Up Checklist
- Ensure the door to the hallway is closed and the Honeywell Air filter is turned on.
- Use your fob to authorize access
- Check the filter type and time left on the filter and adjust if needed for your job. (instructions)
- Turn on the system via the main switch on the wall. (Confirm the laser is completely on see the red and green buttons on the side)
- Confirm air compressor is running (use your foot)
- Check that the chiller temperatures are in the right ranges – Approx. 18 – 24 degrees
- Do a draw test. (See wiki for instructions)
Shut-Down Checklist
- Log off the laser access point with your fob.
- Jog the laser head to the very back center and press “ORIGIN”.
- Turn off the main switch to power down the system.
- Remove any bits and scraps from the laser bed, use brushes and pipe cleaners (in a supply box in the cabinet) when needed. Check for clogged honeycomb cells. Make sure not to get gunk on the laser head.
- Clean up debris and waste material. Small bits can go in the trash can (it must fit under the lid), larger pieces need to be packed out (feel free to grab a trash bag from the closet).
- Open the laser’s front access door (key is in the center desk drawer) and the crumb tray door behind that (same key). Use the dusting pole (on the cabinet side) to sweep debris to the front of the crumb tray, and clean it out with the shop vac. Make sure not to knock bits into the main exhaust pipe in the center of the crumb tray. Close both doors and replace the key.
- Carefully wipe down the laser interior using microfiber dusting tools or a dry cloth (in a supply box in the cabinet). NEVER USE SPRAY CLEANERS or solvents or scratchy things. (It’s okay to use a WATER ONLY damp cloth for soot smudges.)
- If the room is stinky, leave the Honeywell Air Filter on.
- Check again, have you left anything in the room or laser bed?
Important: Cutting materials like acrylic, rubber or masked material you may see dusty or sticky residue on the laser head and bed. It is your job as a user to clear that stuff up.
