Abstract: The invention relates to an emergency stop switch, having: a switch mechanism with a manually operable switch and with a first contact element which is operatively connected to the switch, wherein the switch is configured to bring the first contact element into contact with a second contact element to trigger an emergency stop function. A cable pull mechanism with a switch tongue guided in a switch tongue guide is connected to a first end of a cable, wherein a switch tongue spring preloads the switch tongue during operation in a direction away from the cable. The cable is connected on its second end with preload to an equalizing spring during operation, wherein the first contact element is operatively connected to the switch tongue.
