Once the assembly is complete, test run your
machine to make sure it runs properly and is
ready for regular operation.
The test run consists of verifying the following:

the motors turn the correct direction (machine is
not wired out of phase, G0450 only), and 3) the
EMERGENCY STOP button safety feature works
correctly.
