brakes, proceed as follows:
1. Press E-STOP key on programming pendant, playback panel, or operator
station, to be sure servo power is OFF.
2. Provide adequate support for axis to be released. Support should withstand

3. Release specific axis brake by pressing and holding corresponding axis
button and ENABLE button at same time.
