Z INIT
The Z INIT function key initializes the Z Axis tool height
above the work surface. The Z INIT key may be used only
when the STOP JOB or STOP READY message displays.
You may use either the tool height gage or the step height
gage for initialization. Use of the step height gage is
described in the Engraving section of this manual.
PERFORM Z INIT
1. Place the tool height gage on top of the material to be cut.
2. Slew the tool over the gage.
3. Press the Z INIT key. The Z motor is now OFF to allow for
manual adjustment. The "Z Unlocked ..." message appears.
4. Turn the Z axis knob to lower the tool until it just touches the
surface of the tool height gage.
Note: Excessive pressure will cause tool damage.
5. Press Z INIT to raise the tool.
Note: If RESET is pressed, the Z motor locks and the Z INIT
process is exited.
6. Remove the tool height gage.
