4. Operation Mode
(Note ) Do not execute the tap retract simultaneously with the operation in the manual (JOG feed, rapid
traverse feed, reference position return, incremental and handle) mode or in the automatic (memory,
tape and MDI) mode.
The simultaneous operation causes the all axes interlock.

4.2 Jog Feed Mode
The jog feed mode enables the machine to be moved consecutively at the feedrate set by using the
MANUAL FEED RATE switch manually. The jog feed mode is started by using the FEED AXIS SELECT
switch.
See Section 5 for the MANUAL FEED RATE switch.
Operation procedure
Using the MODE SELECT switch, select the jog mode.
Using the MANUAL FEED RATE switch, set the feedrate.
The feedrate unit is the travel distance (mm) per minute.
To move the controlled axis, turn on the FEED AXIS SELECT switch. The
controlled axis is moved while the switch is turned on.
When the switch is turned off, the controlled axis stops with deceleration.
(Note 1) When the MANUAL OVERRIDE switch on the operation panel is turned ON, the override value set
by using the FEED RATE OVERRIDE switch takes precedence over the feedrate set by using the
MANUAL FEED RATE switch.
