Abstract
A method for operating a system that includes a main machine tool, an auxiliary device, and a transmission device with a first sending and receiving device assigned to the main machine tool and a second sending and receiving device assigned to the auxiliary device includes sending a first signal that represents a connection inquiry from the first sending and receiving device to the second sending and receiving device after an actuation of an input device of the main machine tool by a user. A second signal that represents a connection response from the second sending and receiving device is sent to the first sending and receiving device after an actuation of an actuating device of the auxiliary device by the user. The method further includes activating and/or testing an emergency cutout functionality of the actuating device by the actuation of the actuating device of the auxiliary device by the user.
