12.2 Release of trapped person
If a person is trapped as a result of a controlled axis movement, then the
person may be released by reversing the axis movement. If an emergency stop
button has been pressed then power will have been removed from the drives.
To restore power it will be necessary to release the emergency stop button,
press the “Power On” button on the operator panel, and clear the error message
on the control. Set the mode selection switch to manual, and the feed override
to a low value, and use an axis jog key or the electronic handwheel to move the
axis and release the person.
If the machine has been fitted with a workpiece clamping system, then the
operator should familiarise himself with the method of manually releasing the
clamp.
