How to Use This Manual
As a TNC beginner, you can use the operating instructions as a
step-by-step workbook. This part begins with a short introduction
to some important basics concepts, and provides an overview of
the available features. Then each feature is explained in detail,
using a practical example that you can immediately try out on the
machine — so you can't get lost in the theory. As a beginner you
should work through all the examples presented.
The examples are intentionally brief; it generally won't take you
longer than 10 minutes to enter the example data.
As a TNC expert, you can use this manual as a comprehensive
review and reference guide. The clear layout and the subject index
make it easy to find the desired topics.
