Hello,

I will be receiving my machine back from repair very soon (crossing fingers).

Spending my time reading the forum posts while waiting for my machine, it occurred to me how very helpful it would be if someone could compile a single "list" of common things to check when firing up the CW before each project is begun. Sort of a "maintenance/safety check" before running each project.

I see references here and there on the forum about checking the Z-truck for looseness, checking for loosened screws, inspecting various cables, connections, and wires at locations which are at present unfamiliar to me, and other tips such as feeling the flexshaft for excessive heat, and so on.

(Equally helpful would be a list of common errors/fixes that the user can perform without needing to bother CW Tech Support.)

For us newbees, this would be very much appreciated and could save a lot of unnecessary headaches down the road I expect.

Thanks so much for anyone willing to help with this.
