Going to try again, though. Started with the Z stall error, bit found that to be the bit plate issue, and fixed it by trimming the bearing wipe per the pdf.
Got about 1/3 through a project, and started getting the 'cover open error'. Checked all the connections, but nothing seemed to help.
I found the thread about pulling the plug on the Z axis, but had already called sears by then. Called a store close to my shop, and they said it would be a week, since this is a non-stock item. So, I called the store I bought it from (who had it in stock), and they said that they would have to order it, as well. Apparently, the one I bought was only in stock because it had been returned! They never told me that! They said it had never been used, and the accessories did seem factory sealed, but who knows how old it was, or if it had been dropped, or something. It was also on display, so anything could have happened.
Another interesting thing to note...there was sawdust inside. Not much, but some, and the odometer had about 20 minutes of motor run on it. Sears said that it was from 'factory testing'...why do I doubt that.
Anyway, now I get to start with a fresh machine. If need be, I'll go through the various fixes here, or worst case, send it to TX.
I've got high hopes for this thing...
