machine downstroke in fast mode
Explanation:
Or some such.
Without knowing what sort of machine it is ... is it vertical? I found a few google hits for "vertical downstroke".
Anyway, "in rapido" is definitely "in fast mode" as opposed to "slow mode" or "manual mode"....

the machine immediately stops


Explanation:
I recently translated a manual similar to this, the Italian is a little strange but I'm pretty sure it's referring to the famous red button on the security panel which you push to halt a machine in the case of danger/emergency, especially industrial cutting machines.
