got my machine tuesday night, and with less than 5 hours on it, started getting the following problems:
1) constant board sensor problem. everytime the machine begins to measure the board and the board is moved to the right by the cw, i get a failure message as soon as the left edge of my board clears the rollers and the cw attempts to move the board back to the left. if i repeatedly try to load my project, eventually i get a proper measurement (until this last time) and i can continue. this has happened both with a project board as well as when i mount the project board to a jig.
2) after having to constantly reload the board because of the problem with the cw measuring, i just got what the manual refers to as "vertical lockup" and i can't crank down the head. i did what the manual said, namely using an allen wrench to turn the head screw clockwise, and although the crank moves as i turn the head screw, i can't get it to unlock. i must have rotated the screw 15 times and still get that "clutch clicking" sound and no downward movement.
please help
