In manual handle feed, the tool can be moved along a specified axis
(X--axis, Y--axis, Z--axis, ..., or the 8th axis), or can be moved along a
tilted straight line (linear feed) or a circle (circular feed).
(1)Feed along a specified axis (simultaneous 1--axis control)
By turning a manual handle, the tool can be moved along the desired
axis (such as X--axis, Y--axis, and Z--axis) on a simultaneous 1--axis
control basis. (This mode of feed is the conventional type of manual
handle feed.)

(2)Linear feed (simultaneous 2--axis control)
By turning a manual handle, the tool can be moved along the straight
line parallel to a specified straight line on a simultaneous 2--axis
control basis. This manual handle is referred to as the guidancehandle.
Moreover, by turning another manual handle, the tool can be moved
at right angles to a specified straight line on a simultaneous 2--axis
control basis. This manual handle is referred to as the approach
handle. When the guidance handle or approach handle is turned
clockwise or counterclockwise, the tool travels forward or backward
along the respective path.
