The waterjet can be a very dangerous machine if not used properly so here are some important safety items to keep in mind. First, Jesus forgives, but 30,000 psi doesn't. So pay attention to these precautions and be safe while operating this machine.
 +
* NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER turn on the machine without first turning on the water!  You could destroy the machine...and your reputation.
 +
* If you see water squirting out the side of the machine while running a cut, don't touch it!  It is the fountain of "Bye Bye Fingers."
 +
* Wear rubber gloves while dealing with the water in the tank.  The water in there is a nasty pool of bacteria and chemicals just waiting to crawl into your open wounds.
 +
* If you have true "talent" and manage to run the water jet while your hand is underneath it, you have the opportunity of going to the ER and taking with you a medical card that tells the doctors how to treat you so you don't die.

There are three different types of errors that can show up after you post
 +
*Collision error
 +
*Possible offsets to wrong side
 +
*Inside radii is smaller than offset
 
If your program has a collision error, the paths are probably overlapping. try situating the i/o lines so that they do not overlap.

If your program has a possible offsets to wrong side error, it means it is cutting on the wrong side. One way to fix that is to change the lead in angle so that it leads into the direction you want to cut in.
