Manual move

Get familiar with moving the axes around:

Ensure that the bed is fitted properly to the machine (see "Check the bed is fitted
correctly", page 14).
 Using the buttons on the control panel (see "Power up", page 17) select the 'Manual
move' function and press enter:
 Use X, Y and Z buttons to move each axis respectively (axes designated in Figure 2,
page 19).
Caution: Always move the Z axis first to ensure that bed is away from
the extruder nozzles, and does not collide during an X/Y move.
Collisions between the extruder nozzles and the bed may damage both.
Caution: Observe each X/Y axis movement. In these axes, it is possible
to drive the extruders too far away from the "Home" position (Figure 2)
into the printer frame. Avoid this. Excessive collisions will damage the
printer.
Caution: Observe each Z axis movement. In this axis, it is possible to
drive the bed too high (into the extruder nozzles) or too low (into the
motor coupling). Avoid this. Excessive collisions will damage the
printer.
 Press Escape to leave the function, and return to the main menu.
