5. Manutenzjoni

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your laser module.

5.1 Tindif tal-Lentijiet

The laser module features a "Wind Gathering Hood" design which helps prevent smoke from damaging the focus lens, making it largely maintenance-free in this regard. However, if the lens becomes dirty or obscured, carefully clean it with a soft, lint-free cloth and a suitable optical cleaning solution. Avoid touching the lens directly with bare hands.

5.2 Kura Ġenerali

  • Keep the laser module free from dust and debris.
  • Ensure proper airflow around the module to facilitate heat dissipation.
  • Store the module in a dry, clean environment when not in use.
