:
1) Wire Run Switch - This switch allows you to manually turn on or off the pinch rollers
above the wire disposal bin. These rollers pull the wire from the wire spool.
2) Flushing Switch - This switch is used to manually turn on and off the flushing pump.
3) High Press Switch - This switch is used to manually turn on and off the high pressure
flushing mode.
4) Wire Speed - This knob allows you to manually adjust the speed of the wire as it
passes through the machine and workpiece. If wire speed is set too low when roughing, it
may cause wire breakage. For finishing passes, you can turn down the wire speed to
conserve wire.
5) Wire Tension - This knob allows you to manually adjust the wire tension. If you set
this too low during a cut, it may cause inaccuracy on the workpiece. If you set this too
high on a roughing pass, it may cause wire breakage.
6) KYB / REM SWITCH or KB - RC For machines with a remote pendant, this switch
selects between the remote or the keyboard MFR setting. If at the KYB position, the
remote still works, but the machine moves at the KYB setting.
AWT RELATED SWITCHES
7) AWT I or II Wire threader switch. AWT I cuts the wire. AWT II threads the wire.
8) WIRE GUIDE - Use this switch to manually open & close the upper wire guide.
9) AWT W/ C - W position turns on the AWT water jet . The C position (clutch) frees the
AWT pipe so it can slide up and down manually (C is not used on A320D).
10) Tub Fill Switch- This turns on the worktank fill pump.
11) Drain Open Close Switch - Opens and closes the worktank drain valve.
12) Submerged (or non) Switch- This switch causes the machine to switch between
submerged and non-submerged mode. NOTE: If the high flush potentiometer is at a low
setting the worktank fills up slowly when in submerge mode.
