5.3 EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON
The machine is fitted with an Emergency Stop button so that if something should go wrong or a
condition arises that presents a hazard to the machine or the operator the machine can be stopped
extremely quickly. This Emergency Stop button is situated on the right of the keyboard rest as
shown in the picture below.
If a failure or hazard occurs and the Emergency Stop button is pressed, the cause and nature of
the failure should always be investigated and referred to maintenance or a supervisor prior to
returning the machine to operational use. If a fault condition arises whilst using this machine,
that is not hazardous, then power down the machine in the normal manner.
Note: As part of the preventative maintenance program for these machines it is necessary to
inspect and test the guard system with respect to the interlocks and the Emergency Stop
button.

If the Emergency Stop button has not been pressed then power down the machine in the normal
manner as described in section 4.2 of the operator’s guide. If the Emergency Stop button has
