Reposition the tool at the end point of the arc using any of the following
methods.
Jog the Axes in manual mode.
Automatically move the axes by executing a part program or MDI
program.
Manually move the axes using any means as long as the encoder is still
actively recording the tool position (see documentation prepared by the
system installer).
Important: If an axes is moved that is not in the currently defined plane
(G17, G18, or G19) the control will interpret the move as a helical move
and generate the block accordingly. (see helical interpolation chapter 14)
