SINGLE STROKE
Press button (fig. 5.11) until the operating mode
single stroke (fig. 5.6) is shown on the display (fig.

Press the button (fig. 5.12) or the foot pedal once,
to release a single cutting cycle. The movement
stops in the upper reversal point.
MULTI STROKE
Press button (fig. 5.11) until the operating mode
multi stroke (fig. 5.6) is shown on the display (fig.

Press the button (fig. 5.12) or the foot pedal once,

the cutting strokes for one cutting cycle depends on
the respective pre-selection. For this, the mode
multi stroke must be selected as described above.
Then keep the RESET button (fig. 5.3) pressed and
then press simultaneously the mode button (fig.
5.11) until the desired cutting strokes (1 - 4) are
shown on the display.
The cutting movement stops in the upper reversal
point. The resolution is as follows:
1...10 1 µm-increments
10...20 2 µm-increments
20...30 5 µm-increments
30...50 10 µm-increments
CONTINUOUS STROKE
Press button (fig. 5.11) until the operating mode
continuous stroke (fig. 5.6) is shown on the display
(fig. 5.7).
To start a continuous cutting cycle, use the foot
pedal or press the button (fig. 5.12). To stop the
continuous stroke, press the foot pedal (fig. 6) or
the button (fig. 5.12) once more. However, if a
cutting cycle has been started, it will continue
through and stop in the next upper reversal point.
