Dry Run with Movement

Before you press the

GO

key to begin the dry run, ensure

that the tool will not touch the workpiece when the quill
begins to move. To avoid tool interference, we suggest
that you do one or more of the following:

• Lower the knee
• Remove the tool or workpiece
• Reestablish datum away from the part (refer to

Establishing Datum located in Section 2).
