window. Motion can be paused by use of the Stop, Cancel or an arrow key. The Latched Manual
Key feature can be turned off by pressing the manual key again.
Return to Start
Whenever the Manual window is entered, the Transverse and Rail positions at that point are saved.
After rip cutting or other manual operations it may be desirable to return to this "start" position.
Pressing the Return to Start soft key will generate motion in the Transverse and Rail axes from the
machine‟s current position to the position saved at entry into the Manual window.
Move Distance
When Move Only is displayed in the Manual Mode window, the second soft key from the left changes
to Move Distance, allowing manual moves of an exact distance to be performed. After pressing Move
Distance, the control prompts the operator for Traverse and Rail distance values for machine motion.
Enter the desired values and press ENTER. The cutting device then moves the entered distance in a
straight line without executing any cut logic.
Values are entered the same way as described in the Cut Distance paragraphs above.
As with any automatic motion, you may press STOP on the front panel at any time to bring the
machine smoothly to a stop before the programmed motion is complete.
Cut Distance
When Rip Cut mode is selected in the Manual Mode window, the second soft key from the left
changes to Cut Distance, allowing rip cuts of an exact distance to be performed. After pressing Cut
Distance, the control prompts the operator for Traverse and Rail distance values for machine motion.
Enter the desired values and press ENTER. After executing the cut logic sequence, the cutting device
then moves the entered distance in a straight line.
