English term or phrase: isolate
En muchas partes aparece, por ejemplo:

isolate the machine before carrying out maintenance and reparation works.

No sé si en este contexto es adecuado utilizar "aislar", pero n encuentro nada que me ajuste al contexto.

Explanation:
Si se trata de un motor eléctrico de accionamiento, sería "desconectar", es decir, más enfático que apagar, para evitar el arranque accidental.

Si es un dispositivo mecánico accionado por un eje, etc., "desacoplar" sería el término correcto.
