Important Safety Note
If it is necessary to abruptly terminate the tool action (to
prevent damage to people, material, or the tool), push down
the red off/emergency stop switch. This will completely cut
power to the Desktop and stop all movement.
Keep in mind that the presence of an emergency stop switch
does not alter the need for good safety procedures while
operating the ShopBot tool.
For more information, see the section “Restarting after an
emergency shut down”, on page 28.
For non-emergencies, simply hit the space bar on the computer keyboard. This will pause the tool
while maintaining XYZ coordinates, allowing the cut file to resume without starting over.
