If you use the run command without setting a starting point, everything is OK. If you select a start point other than line 1, then the spindle will not run, and will be stopped if you manually started it. This makes the "run from line" function unusable unless you have a manual spindle override. Plowing a non-spinning cutting tool through metal doesn't work very well! There may be specific functions to skip when scanning through the G-code to be in the right mode when you begin from the middle of a program, but M03/M04 are modal commands, and should be obeyed.
