The water system in your laser welding machine helps keep it cool. Regular maintenance prevents overheating and extends the machine's life.


1. Turn Off and Unplug the Machine: Ensure safety by turning off and unplugging the machine.

2. Drain the Water: Locate the water drain valve and drain the old water from the system.

3. Clean the Water Tank: Remove any sediment or buildup inside the water tank using a soft brush and mild detergent.

4. Flush the System: Refill the tank with clean water and run the machine briefly to flush out any remaining debris.

5. Refill with Distilled Water: Always use distilled water to prevent mineral buildup.

6. Check for Leaks: Inspect the water lines and connections for any leaks or signs of wear.
