Well I am bored!!!!

HAHA play on words!!!

I have been tasked with training an operator on a fanuc manual guide/i. I can not remember for the life of me how to teach someone new, much less someone with limited native language skills.

Anybody have a jump off point?

English is not the native language of Oregon. Which language do you mean?

YouTube has some training videos on Manual Guide i. You might watch some at the control with the person? Let them poke along with the video.

Nice to meet you Bored, I'm Winter.

I live on top of a mountain so you could in theory jump from there maybe you'll remember something by the time you hit bottom....

Luckily understanding g-code is a universal language in cnc.

Don't train him too well, he will probably take your job as soon as he finishes his English training class and passes his citizenship test.

...and apparently you can't come with a "Descriptive title" either eh ?

i find best to make a 1 page checklist of important things to know and check and doing basic things like how to access different screens
.
i find it is very useful to have on each cnc type especially if you havent run it in months or years. i find rarely do i need to stop and ask somebody how to do something. if everything on the checklist "cheatsheet"
.
amazing amount of people who if they havent run a particular cnc in a year are fairly helpless and need a few days to relearn everything they forgot.
.
i also write CAGS or corrective action guidelines. if machine not running or has a problem basically few pages of things to try to get it going again from most likely to fix problem to less likely but might fix the problem. CAGS are useful especially on machines that need multiple buttons pressed at same time or one of those complex things that old timers remember but new people would have no ideal what to do. any time i got a problem and i eventually figure it out i write down what problem was and how i fixed the problem
.
by the way you need to stress, the time most crashes happen is just after the trainer stops looking over the shoulder of trainee to catch all their mistakes. first few weeks after training is done often the most likely time crashes happen. by following checklist it really helps in not forgetting important stuff

I keep a book called, oddly enough, The Book Of Secrets. There's lots of info in there about what parameters do and what screen they're on. That way I don't have to bug Vancouver or Bill every time I want to adjust my backlash.

Seems to be a lot of that in this trade.
