Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your SCULPFUN C1.

6.1. లేజర్ లెన్స్ శుభ్రపరచడం

Dust and debris can accumulate on the laser lens, affecting engraving quality. Clean the lens regularly:

1. Power off and unplug the machine.
2. Carefully remove the magnetic protective cover from the laser head.
3. Unscrew and remove the black lens cap from the bottom of the laser head.
4. Use a clean cotton swab lightly dampened with lens cleaning solution (or isopropyl alcohol) to gently wipe the lens. Avoid excessive pressure.
5. Allow the lens to dry completely before reassembling the lens cap and protective cover.

6.2. బెల్ట్ సర్దుబాటు

Ensure the belts are properly tensioned for accurate movement of the laser head.

1. Inspect the belts for any looseness or wear.
2. If a belt is loose, use the provided repair tools to adjust the tensioning screws on the belt mechanism until the belt is taut but not overly tight.
3. For balance adjustment, loosen the screws on the coupling, push the gantry fully against the frame, and then re-tighten the screws. This ensures both sides of the gantry are aligned.

7. ట్రబుల్షూటింగ్

• Machine not connecting to computer:
  • Ensure the data cable is securely connected to both the machine and the computer.
  • Verify the machine is powered on (green light should be steady or flashing).
  • For Windows 7, check if the necessary drivers are installed. Refer to the software installation section.
  • Try a different USB port or data cable.
• Engraving quality is poor/faint:
  • Check the laser focus. Re-focus the laser using the acrylic focusing sheet.
  • నిర్వహణ విభాగంలో వివరించిన విధంగా లేజర్ లెన్స్‌ను శుభ్రం చేయండి.
  • Adjust software parameters (increase laser power, decrease speed, or reduce interval).
  • Ensure the material is suitable for laser engraving and is placed flat.
• Machine not moving correctly/making grinding noises:
  • Check for any obstructions in the gantry's path.
  • Inspect and adjust the belts for proper tension as described in the Maintenance section.
