EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON

The Stage Flame is equipped with an emergency stop button (MFX1201) in case of emergencies. The
Emergency Stop Button has the following characteristics:
The emergency button is easy to recognize because of its red/yellow colors and should be
-
positioned so that it can be reached easily and quickly.
Pressing the emergency stop button immediately stops the Stage Flame. The emergency stop
-
button remains mechanically blocked and the device cannot be restarted.
In the event of personal injury, immediate assistance can be given straight away. Any other
emergency procedures should also be carried out as soon as possible.
The Stage Flame can be reset after the danger is entirely eliminated.
The emergency stop button also can be used if there is a sudden danger such as a malfunction. Such
a situation does not require urgent action. The device can be simply turned off.
Further safety measures may be required depending on the nature of how the device will be used.
See the relevant prescriptions.

Do not use the emergency stop button to stop the device in normal circumstances.
