If not already done, load the stock into the cutting bed
Be sure the intended cut lines to not fall on the support stanchions
If this is unavoidable, see the section on cutting reference holes so the stock may be
repositioned after cutting those portions which are accessible, and cut again
Move the cut head, using reference holes if applicable, to locate the cutting torch as desired on
the work piece
Note the yellow crosshairs on the monitor mark the torch location
To move the torch: Machine->Move To (OR press V)
Click the new location and the torch will move (Keep Clear)
To ensure the stock can contain the cuts, move the torch to each extreme (corner) of the design
Move to the 1
st
corner
Repeat to each corner
Make sure the torch position falls within the stock dimensions.
