 |**Note:** **Be extremely careful never to use the nosecone on your spindle when the spring pressure lockring is down.** You may harm your Z-axis motor, the Z-axis leadscrew and even the controller. In other words, always respect the following principle: Never launch an engraving cycle with both the nosecone on the spindle and the spring pressure lock ring screwed down.  | |**Note:** **Be extremely careful never to use the nosecone on your spindle when the spring pressure lockring is down.** You may harm your Z-axis motor, the Z-axis leadscrew and even the controller.

 Here above you can read how the lockring can be screwed up and down, and how the nosecone holder ring can be screwed off the spindle. Here above you can read how the lockring can be screwed up and down, and how the nosecone holder ring can be screwed off the spindle.

   - This procedure implies that the tip of the cutter will touch the material. If that is prohibited, e.g. because the material is very critical to scratches, you could place a thin piece of material on top of your engraving plate and follow the same procedure. Measure the exact thickness of this piece and add that to the engraving depth in Symmetry to obtain the correct engraving depth.   - This procedure implies that the tip of the cutter will touch the material.

 +  - follow the steps from 1 to 6 as described here above.
 +  - Using the Z-down key move the spindle down till the tip of the cutter is a few millimeters above the plate surface, but not touching it.
 +  - Unscrew the little screw in the cutter knob and gently push the cutter down till it's tip touches the material.
 +  - Retighthen the screw in the cutter knob.
 +  - Click on the "set material surface" key: {{:en:x300:key_surface.png?30}} on the virtual keypad.
 +  - In this just opened window click on the “Enter” key to set the plate surface (Z=0.00). The spindle will then move up above the engraving material.

-Wanneer zonder neusconus en met een geblokkeerd vlottend mechanisme gewerkt wordt, zal de machine de dieptes uitvoeren die in de graveerjob zitten, op voorwaarde dat in het Job dialog venster (zie hierboven) de "Z move values" in gesteld werd op "From Job File". Of je graveerjob dieptes bevat hangt uitsluitend af van de gebruikte software. Sommige programma’s gebruiken Z-omlaag en Z-omhoog waardes, andere programma’s gebruiken alleen “omlaag” en een “omhoog” instructie, zonder opgave van een waarde. In dit laatste geval moet in dit dialog venster de "Z Move Values" ingesteld worden op "From Pendent setting". De graveermachine zal dan een voorgeprogrammeerde diepte gebruiken, die ook ingegeven of gewijzigd kan worden via het “Job dialoog venster” in het virtuele toetsenbord.+When engraving without nosecone and with a locked floating mechanism, the machine will execute the cutting depths which are programmed in the engraving job, on condition that the variable "Z move values" in the Job dialog window (see here above) is set to "From job file". If your engraving job contains cutting depths or not entirely depends upon the used software. Some programs use Z-down and Z-up values, other programs use Z-down coordinates but only a Z-up instuction without value.  In the latter case the "Z move values" variable in the dialog window has to be set to "From Pendent Setting".  The engraving machine will then use a preset depth, which can be set or modified in the "Job dialog window" in the virtual keypad.
