Emergency power down

In the event of an emergency, turn off the machine by pushing the power button on the Lower X Beam:

Only use the emergency power down in emergencies, as this hard shutdown can damage the workpiece and SmartBench.

 

Be aware that if SmartBench is switched off during operation: 

  • The machine’s position will be lost. It will need to be rehomed and the job restarted.

  • If the tool is stuck in the materialy you will need to manually remove it from the workpiece, as per the instructions in the next part of this article. 

If you carry out an emergency power down mid-job, you may need to manually remove the tool from the workpiece before turning SmartBench back on. Click here to learn more about this.
