EMERGENCY STOP

This latching pushbutton causes an ESTOP condition when depressed. The Emergency Stop button is
connected so that it interrupts the supply to the motor drive circuits by de-energizing a control relay. Joystick
control is unavailable in this condition. To re-enable system, the ESTOP pushbutton must be unlatched; to
do this rotate it clockwise 1/4 turn. Program may need to be reloaded and the MACH START pushbutton
depressed (for about 2 seconds) after the cause of the emergency stop is rectified.

and deflecting the joystick in the desired direction.
