I made myself a miner, mining drill, 14 mining pipes, a couple of batteries (yeah I charged them) and a chest. Afterwards I went to nearby cave to test it all out. I've set it up on a flat spot where I found some copper. Happily I'm turning it on hoping to see copper popping up in my chest and such but all what Miner does is just digging straight down. Am I doing something wrong or it's how it's supposed to be?
Question - How exactly I am supposed to use Miner?

Add an OD Scanner or OV Scanner (OV for extra range), and it'll start seeking out nearby ore.

Thanks for help
I didn't really think it was needed for it to work ;p -
My lets play covers miners -- Episdoes 6 and 7 -- the link is in the IC2 forum, or just look on youtube for Direwolf20

Left Slot:
- Regular Drill: Average Speed
- Diamond Drill: Fast Speed
Middle Slot:
- Mining Pipes: The Miner will use those to mine down
- Any other material and no drill inserted will result in the Miner filling the hole with the material you put in
Lower Slot:
- A form of energy you can provide, if the source is not external.
Right Slot:
- Nothing: The Miner will mine straight down
- OD (Ore Density) Card: The Miner will grab all the ore in a 5x5 Area while mining down
- OV (Ore Value) Card: The Miner will grab all the ore in a 9x9 Area while mining down
