WARNING
Never stand near the moving parts of the machine during a zero return
operation since each axis is returned to the zero point at the rapid
traverse rate.
Before starting a zero return operation, always make sure that no one is
standing near the moving parts and that the moving parts can be fed to the
zero point without interference.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in accidents involving
serious injuries or damage to the machine: operators or personnel near
the machine could be crushed by the moving parts of the machine, and
the turret could strike obstacles.
