Note 
The following error messages can occur when chamfering inside contours: 
•  Safety clearance in the program header too large 
This error message appears when chamfering would, in principle, be possible with the 
parameters entered for FS and ZFS, but the safety clearance then could not be 
maintained. 
•  Immersion depth too large 
This error message appears when chamfering would be possible through the reduction of 
the immersion depth ZFS. 
•  Tool diameter too large 
This error message appears when the tool would already damage the edges during 
insertion. In this case, the chamfer FS must be reduced.
