F REFIXING AND REPLACING GAS TUBE
Replacing both of polyethylene and copper tubes is the same. Take
care only for the combination between tube materials and ferrule
materials.
Polyethylene tube : nylon ferrule (back, front)
A98L-0004-0348/2-N : 1/4”
A98L-0004-0348/3-N : 3/8”
A98L-0004-0348/4-N : 1/2”
Copper tube : brass ferrule (back, front)
A98L-0004-0348/2-B : 1/4”
A98L-0004-0348/3-B : 3/8”
A98L-0004-0348/4-B : 1/2”
Take care also not to introduce dust into laser because exposure to
ambient air is inevitable.
REFIXING TUBE
(1) Loosen tube fixing nut.
(2) Removed the tube. Make sure that neither of tube nor ferrule is
contaminated with dust. When contaminated, wipe them with
clean and soft cloth.

(3) Fasten tube.
1) Push tube so that the front ferrule fastened to tube contacts
sealing surface of the fitting.
2) Rotate nut with finger as tight as possible.
3) Holding the fitting base with wrench, rotate the nut with
wrench by 1/4 rotation.
This completes the work.
