CAUTION !
When the 4th axis is activated only parallel port 1 can be used. The parallel port 2 is
switched off and can therefore not be used.

Activating the 4th axis
CAUTION!
Unplug the mains plug and wait at least 3 minutes before opening the CNC controller.
This time period is required in order to make sure that all condensers are being
discharged.
Disassemble the upper part of the housing.
In the shown jumper setting the 4th axis is being deactivated. Set both jumpers (J1 and J2) to
the bottom position in order to activate the 4th axis.
