Update, I got the machine running by setting the rapid for the X axis lower to about 2m/min instead of the default 4.

Now I have another problem, I am trying to run a program I wrote, however the machnie indefenitely stops at each line and the single block button gets lit after every line i run requiring me to press reset and then the start button on the machine to get it to run the next line.
probably operator error, I have very basic manuals detailing operation but, it seems like it's not supposed to stop dead after executing a line.
