b) Both axes move to HOME.
c) Lights on the left-hand and top
INCR buttons come on to show
that the table is within 3 mm of
its limits. Do not enter any
program information if any of
these are on.
2) Position artwork, or
board to be copied, on
the tooling strips.
3) Having determined the
best drilling sequence,
use the joy-stick to
position the TV target
over the centre of the
first hole to be drilled.

the table being driven to its limit stops. If this should happen part way through a program,
press HOME and then BST and the target will be driven to the last position which was
programmed. This command must be re-entered before continuing. If it is done at the start
of a program then a reset will restore control to the joy-stick and the system will re-enter
the PROG mode.
4) Press hole once.
A single bleep will be heard
to show that the location of
the hole has been fed into
the machine's memory.
