Safety precautions
Comply with all safety precautions indicated in this document and in your machine manufacturer's documentation!
The following safety precautions refer exclusively to the control as an individual component but not to the specific complete product, i.e. the machine tool.
Refer to your machine manual.
Before using the machine including the control, take the OEM documentation to inform yourself about the safety-related aspects, the necessary safety equipment as well as the requirements on the qualified personnel.
The following overview contains exclusively the generally valid safety precautions. Pay attention to additional safety precautions that may vary with the configuration and are given in the following chapters.
For ensuring maximum safety, all safety precautions are repeated at the relevant places within the chapters.

- Despite confirmation, at first only move the axis carefully
- If there are discrepancies or you have any doubts, contact your machine manufacturer
- Use a low feed rate

- Pay attention to the information on the screen
- If necessary, move to a safe position before referencing the axes
- Watch out for possible collisions
- Always define the actual tool length of a tool (not just the difference)
- Use TOOL CALL 0 only to empty the spindle
- Before activating a preset, check whether all columns contain values.
- For undefined columns, enter values (e.g., 0)
- As an alternative, have the machine manufacturer define 0 as the default value for the columns
- Use GOTO only when programming and testing NC programs
- Only use Block scan when executing NC programs
- Check the NC program or program section using the graphic simulation
- Carefully test the NC program or program section in Program Run Single Block mode
- Use the USB port only for transferring or backing up data do not use it for editing and executing NC programs
