Oneway 2436 wont start

Did you try unplugging it for a few minutes?
Yes a couple of hours,
Does the button need to twist and/or pull out to reset?

Check page 5 of the "large lathe manual" for the emergency stop button info at this link-
I did not read further for other helpful info, so there may be more.

If you open the switch box that has the buttons in it, there's a switch behind the big red button. Sometimes the little switches come loose and simply need put back into place. Also if it gets moved or bumped regularly, the little wires onside can become disconnected. I would open it up and look for anything obvious.
Do as Wyatt suggests, check for loose wires and hit the switches with compressed air to dislodge any possible dust on the contacts. If that fails call Oneway and ask to speak to Shane. I went through this last week and spent 1/2 hour on the phone troubleshooting with him. Wound up ordering all four switches on a well-used 25 y/o lathe (on, off, forward/reverse and E-stop) as we couldn't isolate the problem. You will want to open up the inverter box to read any error codes as you walk through the process.
IT's fixed
Was it normal button reset to the rescue, or something more involved? Glad to see it's working again.
