Chapter 3 Basic Operation
3-6 Pausing/Resuming/Quitting of Cutting
Pausing and Resuming of Cutting by Operation of the Machine
This operation pauses cutting. You perform it using the built-in panel. This also makes it possible to
resume cutting at the paused position after an operation such as moving the tool to check the status
of the workpiece.
Procedure
Press the VIEW button during
cutting.
Rotation of the spindle stops, and the
tool moves to the VIEW position. While
movement of the tool and table is in
progress, the VIEW lamp flashes, and
after the movement is completed, the
lamp lights up.
It is possible to open the front cover while
the machine is paused. Before opening
the front cover, make sure that the cut-
ting operation stopped completely and
that the VIEW lamp is lit.
Press and hold the VIEW button.
The tool returns to the position where
operation was paused, and cutting
resumes. After the tool starts moving,
the VIEW lamp ashes until cutting is
resumed. When cutting is resumed, the
VIEW lamp goes dark.
If you open the front cover while opera-
tion is paused, close the front cover, then
perform the operation.
