15.1 START OF THE PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLER” Each time the machine is turned on, on the display the code of the software release is shown (example: “SAW2 IMET 1.4”). Then the bandsaw performs the calibration of the length by moving slowly the feeder towards the cutting area, in order to set the RESET point.
