A commercially available vacuum cleaner is used during cutting to keep chips from flying into the box. Attaching the brush adapter
included with the PNC-300 can enhance chip-cleaning performance.
Before attaching the brush adapter, first clean away any chips that may be present on the mounting surface.
11. Attaching a Brush Adapter for Chip Cleaning
The PNC-300 performs cutting after receiving cutting data from the computer (application software).
Data may be output, for example, after it has been created using any of a number of applications, or from driver software.
In this section, general matters related to data output are explained. Refer to this section when carrying out data output. For details of
the cutting data output method, refer to the operation manual for the application software or driver software used.

Cautions During Cutting
Opening the cover during cutting results in an emergency stop. Any cutting data in use becomes invalid, and cutting cannot be contin-
ued.
If the cover must be opened during cutting, first press the
[ENTER/PAUSE]
key to pause the unit. Confirm that operation has stopped,
and 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.
NOTICE
You should never bring floppy disks close to
brush adapter, since the data on them could be
erased.
