10.8 REPLACING THE PRESSURE CONTROL UNIT
When the pressure control unit is replaced, the gas circulating system
is open to the atmosphere for a long time. Pay particular attention to
the immediate surroundings to ensure that dust and other
contaminants do not enter the gas circulating system.

Replace the pressure control unit as follows:
(1) Turn off the power to the CNC, then turn off the power to the
laser oscillator. In addition, open the main circuit breaker for the
laser oscillator.
(2) Close the valve of the external laser gas supply (for example, a
gas cylinder).
(3) Disconnect all removable tubes and cables. Pressurized laser gas
may remain in the control unit. Discharge this gas by loosening
the nut on the joint.
(4) Remove the unit securing screws, then remove the unit.
(5) Mount a new unit by reversing steps (3) and (4).
(6) The new intake unit must be adjusted. Adjust the unit as
explained in Chapter 9.
(7) Turn on the oscillator, then perform a gas leakage check.
