FEED HOLD will stop all axis motion until the CYCLE START is pressed. The FEED HOLD button on the
optional remote jog handle will perform exactly the same functions.
WARNING!
FEED HOLD will not stop the spindle, or the coolant pump, though you
can turn them on and off manually with the SPINDLE AND COOLNT
buttons. FEED HOLD will also not stop motion of any auxiliary device
activated with a user M code.
The RESET button on the keypad will always stop motion of the servos, the spindle, the coolant pump, and
tool changer. It will also stop the operation of a running program. This is not, however, a recommended method
to stop the machine as it may be difficult to continue from that point. SINGLE BLOCK and FEED HOLD provide
for a continuation of the program. RESET “will not” stop motion of any auxiliary axes but they will stop at the
end of any motion in progress.
The EMERGENCY STOP button will instantly stop all motion of the machine, including the servo motors, the
spindle, the tool changer, and the coolant pump. It will also stop any auxiliary axes.

Program selection is done from the LIST PROG mode. This mode will list all of the programs stored in memory
and allow you to select one as the current program. All program numbers start with the letter “O” (not zero),
and a five digit number. The program number that has an astrict “ * ” next to it on the left side in the LIST PROG
display is the active program. This will be the program that will be active when you press CYCLE START in
MEM mode. It’ll also be the one that you’ll see on the EDIT display.
To select another program, press the CURSOR up or down keys, or use the jog handle to cursor select the
program you would like to be active, and then press either SELECT PROG or WRITE/ENTER. Or enter in the
program number Onnnnn and press either SELECT PROG or WRITE/ENTER to select program. The “ * ” will
appear next to that program to show that it is active.
To create a new program in the LIST PROG mode, you type in an Onnnnn on the keyboard and then press
WRITE/ENTER and then go to EDIT to see a blank program to begin entering a new program.
D Duplicating a Program in LIST PROG - In the LIST PROG mode, you can duplicate an existing program
by cursor-selecting the program number you wish to duplicate, typing in a new program number ( O nnnnn), and
then pressing F1 . You can also go to the Advanced Editor menu to duplicate a program, using the PROGRAM
menu and the DUPLICATE ACTIVE PROGRAM item.
