Re: I did it to!!
I did the same thing. First thing out of the box-cranked it all the way up to check out my new 'money carver' and it locks up.
It is all part of the learning curve-which I have yet to find the top of.
I appreciate the advice and Dubliner taking time to post his problem. I am expecting to have my machine delivered on Monday - it was supposed to be here Friday, thanks DHL - At least reading about Dubliner's mistake will save me from making that one. I guess that is why this forum is so worthwhile - learning from others mistakes. I sure hope I don't get to post any errors, but I suspect that someone will learn from my mistakes down the road :P
