Your machine is travelling too fast when you "ref all home".

I think the softlimits are set incorrectly. Softlimit settings must be set to slow down the speed to 40% when spindle approaches the home switches or soft limits.

Check with your user manual.

Are you using metric units?
The slow zone of 1  is correct if you are using inches but should be 25 if using mm


(Remember: pirated copies of Mach3 from China will not work correctly)
