Crossing the reference point in a tilted working plane
The TNC automatically activates the tilted working plane if this 
function was enabled when the control was switched off. Then the 
TNC moves the axes in the tilted coordinate system when an axis-
direction key is pressed. Position the tool in such a way that a collision 
is excluded during the subsequent crossing of the reference points. To 
cross the reference points you have to deactivate the "Tilt Working 
Plane" function, see "Activating manual tilting", page 399. 
If one of the two functions that were active before is active now, the 
NC START button has no function. The TNC outputs a corresponding 
error message.
Switch-off
To prevent data from being lost at switch-off, you need to shut down 
the operating system of the TNC as follows:
U
Select the Manual Operation mode
U
Select the function for shutting down, confirm again
with the YES soft key
U
When the TNC displays the message NOW IT IS SAFE
TO TURN POWER OFF
in a pop-up window, you may cut
off the power supply to the TNC
Danger of collision!
Make sure that the angle values entered in the menu for 
tilting the working plane match the actual angles of the 
tilted axis.
Deactivate the "Tilt Working Plane" function before you 
cross the reference points. Take care that there is no 
collision. Retract the tool from the current position first, if 
necessary.
If you use this function, then for non-absolute encoders 
you must confirm the positions of the rotary axes, which 
the TNC displays in a pop-up window. The position 
displayed is the last active position of the rotary axes 
before switch-off.
Inappropriate switch-off of the TNC can lead to data loss!
Remember that pressing the END key after the control 
has been shut down restarts the control. Switch-off 
during a restart can also result in data loss!
