Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Describe about the safety feature of a lock-stop push button.
Explanation of Solution
Description:
A control circuit of a lock-stop push button can be padlocked in the off position. Due to this, it is difficult for anyone to start a machine. In an emergency situation, a lock-stop push button can be used intentionally to stop the machine or equipment. If anyone unintentionally touches the push button, then the contact will not be released unless the push button reaches the lock position.
Conclusion:
Thus, the safety feature of a lock-stop push button is described.
