Review the boring cycle block (G85-G89) in the program and verify that an F word (feedrate) is present in the same block or is modal from a previous line.

Check that the feedrate value is within the machine's acceptable range (typically 1-10000 mm/min or 0.01-400 in/min depending on machine specifications).

If feedrate is missing, add an appropriate F word to the boring cycle block (e.g., G89 X__ Y__ Z__ R__ F__).

Reset the alarm, return to the start of the program or the affected block, and restart the cycle to verify the correction.

Ensure the tool is clear of the workpiece before restarting

Examine the boring cycle block and verify no conflicting G-codes from Group 01 (G00, G01, G02, G03) are programmed in the same line as the boring cycle command.

Check for multiple canned cycles programmed in the same block (e.g., G83 and G89 together), which is not permitted.

Separate motion commands into individual blocks. Program the boring cycle alone with its required parameters (X, Y, Z, R, F), then program positioning moves in subsequent blocks.

Use G80 to cancel the canned cycle before programming a different motion type if necessary, then reset alarm and test the corrected program.

Verify that both R (retract plane) and Z (depth) words are present in the boring cycle block or are modal from previous canned cycle calls.

Confirm the R-plane is positioned above the Z-depth in absolute coordinates (for G90 mode). In incremental mode (G91), verify the R value represents the correct distance from initial level to retract plane.

Check that the current tool position before the boring cycle is at or above the R-plane level to ensure safe cycle initiation.

Incorrect R-plane values can cause tool crashes

Correct the R and Z values as needed, ensuring proper clearance and boring depth, then reset the alarm and verify with a dry run or single block execution.

Use single block mode and feedrate override for first test
