2. Part Names and Functions
Cover
Opening the cover during cutting
results in an emergency stop. Any
cutting data in use becomes invalid,
and cutting cannot be continued.
If the cover must be opened during
cutting, first press the [ENTER/
PAUSE] key to pause the PNC-300,
then open the cover. After the cover
has been closed, cutting resumes
when the paused state is canceled.
The spindle will not rotate while the
cover is open.

This moves the spindle (cutting tool) up
and down). The head performs Z-axis
movement.
Collet chuck and collet cap
These secure the cutting tool
(blade) to the spindle.
XY table
The XY table grips the workpiece to be cut,
and shifts it forward, backward, and to the
sides. The XY performs X- and Y-axis
movement.
Canceling an emergency stop
Rotate the red portion of the
switch clockwise.
EMERGENCY STOP switch
This switch cuts the power supply and forces the
machine to stop, regardless of whether operation is in
progress. Press the EMERGENCY STOP switch
