  1. Does your laser have homing switches?

  2. This could be an issue with grounding. I’ve seen this happen before when a machine wasn’t properly wired, or incorrectly grounded. Plugging in the USB cable grounds the machine through the PC, and can do odd things. Check that the wiring is all correct.
