OPERATION

6. Press the 

Y

key. Enter the bolthole pattern’s center point on the Y-axis. 

Use a decimal point and minus (-) sign if necessary. 

7. Press the 

ENTER

key.

8. Press the 

ENTER

key again. “Radius” will appear. 

9. Enter the radius of the circle pattern. Press 

ENTER

.

10. Press 

ENTER

again. "START" will appear on 

the X-axis display.

11. Enter the start angle of the first hole in 

the bolthole pattern. (0 degrees is at the
3 o’clock position.) Use a decimal 
point and minus (-) sign if necessary. 

12. Press 

ENTER

to complete the pattern.
