Notes of Caution
DO NOT get close to the prototyping machine during milling
Be especially careful around the area of the spindle head.
Be sure not to get your face injured or your hand caught in the mechanism.
Also, please wear protective goggles or similar protective equipment
while the prototyping machine is operating.
Attach the dummy tool when the machine is not in use
While the prototyping machine is not used, attach the dummy tool bit to the
chuck of the spindle motor.
It is useful to expand the lifetime of the chuck of the spindle motor.
Recovery from the hard limit error
If the spindle head passes outside the maximum milling range, the
message "Hard limit detected" will appear on the screen.
In such an event, you need to recover the prototyping machine's home point.
Click To Initial on the Manual Operation screen.
Another way is to shut down the prototyping machine and Design Pro and
then restart both.
SHIFT+ESC key to cancel waiting
If you click the icon to start the communication to the prototyping machine
which is still turned off, the mouse pointer changed to the timer icon will
keep waiting for the reply from the prototyping machine.
In this event, press SHIFT+ESC key to cancel waiting for the reply.
Ctrl+Alt+Del is NOT necessary.
