Hello, Juli in Kona has just posted in the Machines & Hardware forum of AmayaUsers Discussion Boards under the title of Z axis timeout error. This thread is located at http://www.amayausers.com/discussion/showthread.php?806-Z-axis-timeout-error Here is the message that has just been posted: *************** Try grabbing the shaft (the one high up behind the head) and with the machine off, turn it so the needle comes up. Then turn on the machine. When I have done this, as a precaution, I remove the needle first. If you try this, let us know if it worked for you.
