    Before you turn it back on, close the e-stop. Now power back up and clear all alarms. "Single axis return" "Y", if that gets you out of the work piece, then "X" then "Z""....

    I had a power out once and it burned a fuse, might have to deal with that too.

    Setting 53 JOG W/O ZERO RETURN is your friend in a case like this.

    Power the machine up BUT DO NOT PUSH Power Up/Restart to home the axes.

    Go to Settings, find 23 and turn it ON. Now you can jog any of the axes VERY CAREFULLY because you have no protection if you start jogging it into a hard stop.

    Once your tool is clear and the Z axis can lift without damaging anything push Power Up/Restart.
    An open mind is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out.
