HI ,THIS IS MY FIRST POST. I HAVE NOT RUN AN M-2 IN ABOUT 12 YEARS.
I READ YOUR POST ON THE DAY YOU POSTED IT,AND I FOUND MY NOTES YESTERDAY.
TO DRIPFEED YOU MUST PRESS AUTO AND F2 BUTTONS AT THE SAME TIME.
IF THE F2 BUTTON LIGHT STAYS ON THEN YOU ARE READY TO DRIPFEED.
IF THE F2 BUTTON LIGHT DOES NOT STAY ON THEN YOU NEED TO CONTACT MAZAK,
BECAUSE YOU NEED A BOARD INSTALLED IN YOUR MAZAK. MY COMPANY HAD IT
INSTALLED IN EARLY 1990'S AND I THINK THEY PAYED ABOUT 1,800 DOLLARS. I DONT
KNOW HOW MUCH IT COST TODAY. I HOPE THIS INFO HAS HELPED, GOOD LUCK!
