Maintenance & Care-Laser Maintenance

To keep your Genmitsu-Kiosk in optimal working condition and reduce wear and tear, perform the following maintenance actions regularly:
Cleaning the Laser Module Lenses: The laser head has an internal air nozzle with a fixed airflow. However, Over time, particles can accumulate on the outer lens of the laser module, reducing its power output and causing the lens to heat up. If you notice decreased cutting efficiency on materials that previously cut well, it may be time to clean the lenses.
Remove the laser module from the machine by turning the knob to the right.
Gently clean the lens using a cotton swab or a rag dipped in alcohol.
