FAST Backward Forward FAST
If two-speed positioning mode has been selected, the fast forward and fast
backward keys are functional and start fast movement of the machine
table.
If one-speed positioning mode has been selected, the fast forward and fast
backward keys have the same function as forward and backward keys.
When forward key is pressed, the machine table starts to move in the
direction to increase the distance – away from the cutting edge of the tool
(machine table goes down).
When backward key is pressed, the machine table starts to move in the
direction to decrease the distance – close to the cutting edge of the tool
(machine table goes up).
The machine moves until a key is hold pressed. When the key is released,
the machine stops.
This mode can be used for manual positioning, or adjusting procedures.

16. Load datum values
The real position in the device is referred to the distance between the
machine table and the cutting edge of the tool – in other words, the
cutting edge of the tool defines the zero point of the machine. It is,
however, difficult, or impossible to move the machine table to this point.
Therefore, a simple procedure is used to lock the table position to the
zero:
- the machine is positioned roughly (for example using MANUAL mode)
- a piece of material is worked
- the thickness of the worked material is measured
- the value obtained is preset as real value into the device
It may be necessary to repeat the above procedure periodically, as the
tool wears off, or after the tool replacement.
16.1. Presetting the real value
Step 1:

Step 2: enter the value.
