Positioning axes

In order to implement simple machining sequences, you can traverse the axes to certain
positions in manual mode.
The feedrate / rapid traverse override is active during traversing.
Procedure
5.5

Manual retraction

If a tapping operation (G33/G331/G332) – or machining with a drilling tool (tool 200 to 299) –
is interrupted as a result of a power failure or a RESET at the machine control panel, then
using the retraction function you can retract the tool in the tool direction in the JOG operating
mode. The tool and/or the workpiece remain undamaged.
