checkup, use the appropriate SPEED buttons to set both displays to 10.
6.
Press the OSCILLATION “+” button repeatedly to advance the display to 15. Ensure that the

thickness if it was previously showing the slice count. Hold the THICKNESS “+” button down.
Ensure that after one second the display advances rapidly.
11.
Press the THICKNESS “-” button repeatedly. Ensure that the display decrements by one with
each press of the button. The first press would cause the display to show the current
