first move not clearing material

[magicniner]

I must be doing something wrong, and I am sure it is obvious but I am missing it as usual.
After loading g code and setting tool , my tool tip in on material at zero, when I push cycle start it move directly to first position instead of lifting and clearing material first.? Just wait now for the first person to tell me the obvious.

After setting zero move Z up to your clearance plane before starting the job.
The software which generates your code will assume your machine is starting from a homed position - well above the work.
When we manually set a zero we often need to leave the machine as the CAM software would expect to find it - with the tool well clear of the work,
