Follow these steps to change the tube support point:

• STEP 1
  Enter the low level menu of CNC Bender.

• STEP 2
  Select the Init Axes tab.

  Find the line in the Init Axes configuration that looks like this:

FeedAxisPLS4 = LSL0:1, LSU0:1499

  Close the CNC Bender Loader when it reappears. The newer non-button versions of this loader will unload if you right-click on them.

  Run the setup program. You will need to enter the password to install the software.

• STEP 8
  When the setup program is complete, remove the USB drive using the safe removal procedure. (See Safely Remove a USB Drive)

  Run the CNC Bender Loader by finding it in your START/All Programs/Startup menu.

  Run CNC Bender by pressing on the Loader

BACKUP

The CNC Bender setup will create a backup of files replaced when you run this program. A backup folder contains the name "backup" and is always placed in the c:\cnc folder.
