0:00-1:07: “Hello. Hello. Welcome back to another training video. Uh, this video is the last step in your machine orientation and that is simply downloading your operation checklists. Now this has two different documents, one for your Delta controller and one for your mock three controller based on what system you have. Um, here we’re just gonna go through, uh, the five main categories that are gonna be outlined with these operation checklists. And so each one is gonna cover the steps taken in order to do your startup procedure, um, setting up your horizontal table, setting up your vertical table, and setting up your turning workstation. And finally, the shutdown procedures. So those are the five main areas of setting up your machine for different operations. And so go download these, um, operation checklists right below this video. Just click on that link below. And now you are set to use this as a guide to remind you of the steps you’re gonna take in the next videos in, in setting up your machine. Okay, we’ll see you guys in the next video.”
