Before You Begin Assembly
This guide contains many instructions with a
directional reference, such as:
left
,
right
,
front
,
back
,
rear
,
inside
,
outside
, etc.
All such references are from the perspective of one
standing in front of, and looking at, the machine as
shown in
Figure 1‑12
. This is true even if pictorial
figures are of the sides or back of the machine. As
much as possible the words “left” and “right” have
been replaced with “Y1” and “Y2” respectively.
Take a minute to familiarize yourself with this view
of the machine.
In addition to adopting a front-view perspective,
familiarize yourself with the machine’s directional
axes: the X-Axis moves left and right, the Y-Axis
moves front and back, and the Z-Axis moves up
and down. See
Figure 1‑13
.
