This function is used to identify and set the surface of the material.

Before using this key, you have to make sure the spring retainer ring is not locked.

Once the material surface is set you should not have to reset it again unless:
a) the system has been shut off; or
b) the material thickness has been changed.

Press the JOG ARROWS keys to position the cutter anywhere over the material.
Then slowly jog the spindle down till the nosecone just touches the material. That is where you want the Z-axis setting to be Z=0.0
After that, press the SURFACE key. This will open the following window:


Here you can still manually move the spindle down till it just touches the material surface and hit the Enter key in the set surface window.
