Emergency stop systems are a critical safety feature on industrial sewing machines, automation equipment, and related machinery supplied by AE Sewing Machines.

All operators must be familiar with the location and function of emergency stop controls before operating any equipment.

Emergency Stop Awareness

Before operation begins:

• Ensure all operators know where emergency stop buttons or devices are located

• Confirm emergency stop systems are accessible and unobstructed

• Include emergency stop awareness as part of operator training

Clear knowledge of emergency stop locations helps ensure fast response in unexpected situations.

What to Do in an Emergency

In the event of an emergency or unsafe condition:

• Activate the emergency stop immediately

• Isolate the power supply before carrying out any inspection or repair

• Do not attempt to restart the machine until it is safe to do so

Stopping the machine quickly helps reduce the risk of injury or further damage.

Safety Systems Must Not Be Bypassed

Emergency stops, guards, and safety systems are designed to protect operators and equipment.

• Do not bypass, disable, or override safety systems

• Do not operate equipment if safety devices are missing or malfunctioning

Bypassing safety systems creates serious safety risks and may result in equipment damage or non-compliance.

Why Emergency Procedures Matter

Correct use of emergency stop and shutdown procedures helps:

• Protect operators and nearby personnel

• Prevent escalation of faults or incidents

• Support safe and compliant operation

AE Sewing Machines recommends reviewing emergency procedures regularly and ensuring all operators are trained and confident in their use.
