When the switch is ON during cutter compensation
Operation of the machine upon return to automatic operation after
manual intervention with the switch is ON during execution with an
absolute command program in the cutter compensation mode will be
described.
After manual intervention, the tool moves so that the tool center moves
towards the end of the next vector in the program.
