Total beginner - totally confused
Posted: Mon Aug 13, 2012 1:09 am
I have read lots of tips on this forum about mapping and going slowly, but I am clearly a hopeless idiot. I have had this thing for 6 months, and despite several attempts I have only ever got as far as reading the serial number. That is it - not one mm further.
I have rotated it in both directions. I have pulled gently, I have pushed gently, I have tried more force. All in vain. I tried pushing and pulling at every one of the 360 degrees, and apart from some friction at one spot, and what feels like a V shaped obstacle, I have not moved the shaft whatsoever. I cannot map what I cannot move!
So, take pity on me please, and just tell me how to get started - should the shaft move in the same direction as when the serial number appears, or in the opposite direction? What am I missing?
Yours hopelessly,
Ross
