READ BEFORE OPERATING THIS MACHINE:
♦Only authorized personnel should work on this machine. Untrained personnel present a hazard to
themselves and the machine, and improper operation will void the warranty.
♦Check for damaged parts and tools before operating the machine. Any part or tool that is damaged should be
properlyrepaired orreplaced byauthorized personnel. Do notoperate themachine ifany component doesnot

OSHA-approvedear protectionarerecommended toreduce therisksof sightdamage and hearingloss.
♦Donot operatethe machineunless thedoors areclosed andthe doorinterlocks arefunctioning properly.
Rotating cutting tools can cause severe injury. When a program is running, the mill table and spindle head can
move rapidly at any time in any direction.
♦The Emergency Stop button (also known as an Emergency Power Off button) is the large, circular red switch
located on the Control Panel. Pressing the Emergency Stop button will instantly stop all motion of the machine, the
servo motors, the tool changer, and the coolant pump. Use the Emergency Stop button only in emergencies to avoid
crashingthe machine.
♦The electrical panel should be closed and the three latches on the control cabinet should be secured at all times
except during installation and service. At those times, only qualified electricians should have access to the panel.
When the main circuit breaker is on, there is high voltage throughout the electrical panel (including the circuit boards
andlogic circuits)and somecomponentsoperate athigh temperatures.Therefore, extremecautionis required.
Once the machine is installed, the control cabinet must be locked and the key available only to qualified service
personnel.

RESET
Power On- Turns the machine on.
Power Off-Turns themachine off.
Spindle Load Meter - Displays the spindle load, in percent.
Emergency Stop - This stops all axes motion, stops the spindle and tool changer, and turns off the coolant
pump.
Jog Handle - This is used to jog all axes. Can also be used to scroll through program code or menu items
whileediting.
Cycle Start - Starts a program. This button is also used to start a program in Graphics mode.
Feed Hold - Will stop all axis motion. Note: Spindle will continue to turn during cutting.
Reset - Will stop the machine (axes, spindle, coolant pump, and tool changer are stopped). This is not a
recommended method to stop the machine, as it may be difficult to continue from that point.
Power Up / Restart - When this key is pressed, the axes will return to the machine zero position and a tool
change may occur. See Setting 81 in the Settings chapter for more information.
Recover - This button aids the operator in recovering the tool changer from an abnormal stop. See the tool
changersection formore information.

Memory Lock Key Switch - This switch prevent the operator from editing programs and from altering settings
when turned to the locked position. The following describes the hierarchy of locks:
Key switch locks Settings and all programs.
Setting 7 locks parameters.
Setting 8 locks all programs.
Setting 23 locks 9xxx programs.
Setting 119 locks offsets.
Setting120 locks macrovariables.
Second Home Button - This button will rapid all axes to the coordinates specified in work Offset G129. The
sequence is as follows: First, the Z axis is returned to machine zero, then the X and Y axes are moved, then
the Z axis is moved to its second home position. This feature will work in any mode except DNC.
Work Light Switch - This switch will turn on the work light inside of the machine.
Keyboard Beeper - Located at the top of the parts tray. The volume can be adjusted by turning the cover.
FUNCTION K EYS
F1- F4 Keys - Thesebuttons havedifferent functionsdepending uponwhich modeof operationyou arein. For
example, F1-F4 will cause a different action in Editing mode, than Program mode, than Offset mode. See the
specific mode section for further descriptions and examples.
Tool Offset Meas (Tool Offset Measure) - Used to record tool length offsets during part setup.
Next Tool - Used to select the next tool from the tool changer (usually used during part setup).
Tool Release - Releases the tool from the spindle when in MDI mode, zero return mode, or handle jog mode.
Part Zero Set - Used to automatically set work coordinate offsets during part setup (see Setting Offsets in the
Operationsection).
JOG K EYS
Chip FWD (ChipAuger Forward)- Starts optional chipauger inthe “Forward”direction, moving chips outof the
machine.
Chip Stop (ChipAuger Stop) - Stops augermovement.
Chip REV (ChipAuger Reverse) - Starts the optional chip auger in the “Reverse” direction, which is useful in
clearing jams and debrisfrom auger.
X/-X,Y/-Y,Z/-Z,A/-A andB/-B (axis keys)-Allows the operator to manually jog axis by holding down the
individual button or pressing the desired axes and using the jog handle.
Jog Lock - Works with the axes buttons. Press jog lock and then an axis button and the axis will move to
maximum travel or until jog lock is pressed again.
CLNT Up (CoolantUp) -Moves theoptional ProgrammableCoolant (P-Cool)nozzle up.
CLNT Down (Coolant Down) - Moves the optionalP-Cool nozzledown.
AUX CLNT (Auxiliary Coolant) - Pressing this key while in MDI mode will turn on the optional Through the
Spindle Coolant (TSC) system; pressing it a second time will turn off TSC.

OVERRIDE K EYS
Thesekeys give the user theability tooverride thespeed ofnon-cutting (rapid)axes motion,programmed feeds
andspindle speeds.
-10 -Decreases currentfeedrate by 10%.
100% -Setsoverridden feedratetoprogrammed feedrate.
+10 -Increases current feedrateby 10%.
-10 - Decreases current spindle speed by 10%.
100% -Sets overriddenspindlespeed toprogrammed speed.
+10 - Increases current spindle speed by 10%.
Hand Cntrl Feed (Handle Control Feedrate) - Pressing this button allows the jog handle to be used to control
thefeedrate in ±1% increments.
Hand Cntrl Spin (Handle Control Spindle) - Pressing this button allows the jog handle to be used to control
spindle speed in ±1% increments.
CW - Starts the spindle in the clockwise direction.This button is disabled on CE (export) machines.
CCW - Starts the spindle in the counterclockwise direction. This button is disabled on CE (export) machines.
The spindle can be started or stopped with the CW or CCW buttons any time the machine is at a Single Block
stop or the Feed Hold button has been pressed. When the program is restarted with Cycle Start, the spindle
will be turned back on to the previously defined speed.
STOP - Stops the spindle.
5% / 25% / 50% / 100% Rapid - Limits machine rapids to the value on the key. The 100% Rapid button allows
maximumrapid.
Override Usage
Thefeedrate canbe varied from 0% to999% ofthe programmedvalue whilein operation.This isdone withthe
feedrate+10%, -10%and 100%buttons. The feedrateoverride isineffective duringG74 andG84tapping
cycles.Feedrate override doesnot changethe speedof anyauxiliary axes.During manual jogging,the feedrate
override will adjust the rates selected from the keypad. This allows for fine control of the jog speed.
The spindle speed can also be varied, from 0% to 999%, using the spindle overrides. It is also ineffective for
G74 and G84. In the Single Block mode, the spindle may be stopped. It will automatically start up upon
continuingthe program (pressing Cycle Start).
By pressing the Handle Control Feedrate key, the jog handle can be used to control feedrate from 0% to 999%
in ±1% increments. By pressing the Handle Control Spindle key, the jog handle can be used to control spindle
speed in ±1% increments (from 0% to 999%).
Rapid moves (G00) may be limited to 5%, 25%, or 50% of maximum using the keypad. If the 100% rapid is too
fast, it may be set to 50% of maximum by Setting 10.
In the Settings page, it is possible to disable the override keys so that the operator cannot select them. These
are Settings 19, 20 and 21.
