There are two main types of emergency stop buttons:
• Emergency stop button with a twist-release mechanism which latches in the activated position
• Emergency stop button with a push-pull mechanism which remains pushed in
To reset the latching type of an emergency stop button, twist the button in the direction of an
arrow in the mushroom head. The rotating movement releases the latch and allows the button
to spring out to the normal reset position.
Figure 3. Emergency stop button with twist-release mechanism
To reset the push-pull type emergency stop button, pull the button manually outwards to the
normal reset position. The push-pull type emergency stop button is an emergency stop button
that does not have a rotation arrow sign on the button head.

Restarting the equipment and the operation controls is possible only after the emergency stop
button has been reset to the normal reset position.
