The key will flash.

Rotate the jog wheel in the required direction and the transport will shuttle according to how much the wheel

is moved.

The JOG key will illuminate steady while the machine is shuttling. When the wheel is not being moved, the

transport will stop shuttling and the JOG key will flash again.
