Overview

You can access programs at any time via the Program Manager for execution, editing,
copying, or renaming.
Programs that you no longer require can be deleted to release their storage space.
NOTICE
Execution from USB-FlashDrive
Direct execution from a USB-FlashDrive is not recommended.
There is no protection against contact problems, falling out, breakage through knocking or
unintentional removal of the USB-FlashDrive during operation.
Disconnecting it during operation will result in the stopping of the machining and thus to the
workpiece being damaged.
