    First Test Print won't start

    Hi all I've managed to get my cnc3020 all wired up and have been trying to do the roadrunner test print but as the z-axis approaches its zero position the spindle stops and all the steppers lock, no idea why this happening, I've attached a video to show, when I jog the z-axis back up near the top the spindle turns back on??? Any help here would be great.
