3 Setting the Direction of X
Description The Direction of X is the main direction of the excavator boom.
It is very important to set the Direction of X when working in Dual Slope Mode.
There are two ways to set the Direction of X.
The traditional way is to use the one-point method where the correct Direction of X is
already known.
The more advanced way is to use the two-point method. You can use this method when
working with a string line for example.
One-point method This is how you set the Direction of X using the One-point method:
1. Press the button, which will open the Direction of X menu.
2. Select One-point method by pressing the
up/down arrows .
