  6. Баштапкы кубаттоо: Connect the power supply to the controller box and then to a suitable power outlet. Do not connect the machine to power until all assembly steps are complete and verified.

4. Операция

This section outlines the basic operational procedures for your Masuter 3S CNC machine.

4.1 Controller Box

The newly designed controller box features shortcut buttons for common operations and a self-resetting E-stop button. Pressing the E-stop button will halt all machine movement and trigger an alarm in the software. It will pop up by itself, requiring no twisting to reset.
