Section 10: Manual
After pressing the Manual key from the Main screen or Shape Library, the following screen is
displayed.
Whenever the manual keys are active, the cursor icon in the graphics display window will be in
the shape of a tiny hand.
From the Manual window, the machine can be moved manually in one of eight directions using
the arrow keys. The dual-purpose arrow keys are press on/release off. The cutting device moves
as long as the key is held down. When the key is released, it comes to a smooth stop.
If the Latched Manual Key feature is enabled in the control setups, pressing the manual key a
second time will allow motion to continue without holding down the arrow key. This feature is
available for the manual direction keys in the Manual, Align and Pause screens. When this
feature is activated, the dialog “Latched Manual Keys On” will be displayed in red at the bottom
right corner of the part window. Motion can be paused by use of the Stop, Cancel or an arrow
key. The Latched Manual Key feature can be turned off by pressing the manual key again.
Return to Start
Whenever the Manual window is entered, the Transverse and Rail positions at that point are
saved. After rip cutting or other manual operations it may be desirable to return to this "start"
position. Pressing the Return to Start softkey will generate motion in the Transverse and Rail
axes from the machine’s current position to the position saved at entry into the Manual window.
