Safety
Causes and Fixes
Verify all axes are at the correct positions by checking the actual position display against the desired block search target position.
Confirm tool offsets, work offsets, and modal G-codes are correctly set for the target block by reviewing the active status displays.
If position and machine state are correct, press NC START to resume program execution from the searched block.
Ensure workpiece, fixtures, and tool clearances are safe before starting. Reduce feedrate override to 25-50% for first move verification.
If adjustments are needed, use JOG mode to reposition axes or OVERSTORE function to modify modal values before pressing NC START.
