Good evening (if it is evening where you are right now!)
We've now moved onto a list of precautions.
Danger: getting your hand cut off by the machine
Precaution: Comando ad azione mantenuta
I understand what it is, but I just can't seem to find a way of putting it that doesn't sound silly.
Any suggestions?
Thank you
G

non-release hold button/key/whatever
it is sometimes hard to find a noun for certain instructions in mechanical action. You could get around it by : "Keep start control pressed..."

dead man's handle
A handle (knob, lever, etc.) that the operator must hold in a certain position (thus occupying his hand) while the machine is working.
The expression 'dead man's handle' originally referred to a lever in a railway loco drivers cab which had to be held down to release the train brakes. If the driver died and fell off his stool, he automatically let go of the handle, the brakes were applied and the train stopped.

I would say...
...which implies as a precaution - checking/controlling that the on/off switch which puts the machine to work be in place so that the machine doesn't start to operate when it should not causing accidents like cutting off your hands.
Here is a link I found where the terms are used. Good luck!

To add to what I just said:
I think that the "precaution" is more of an action than a handle/button or a key. At least that is how I understand it...
