# Emergency Stop

<figure><img src="/files/9ajy3J30wsSK8Ku9j5A8" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Pressing Emergency Stop (E-stop) on either the handhandled keypad or at the side of the Gantry cuts power to everything except the control board of the unit ,and cut the power to the inverter.

This causes spindle to coast to a stop , a process that may take several minutes.

All Job setup information is erased from the system , and operators should wait atleast 2 mins beforw engaging the machine and applying power to the motors.

The E-Stop button must be pulled out when the main power switch is turned on.
