Execution error/External pause

I am getting an error message when trying to run a job on my Torchmate 4x4 growth series. I hit the run job button and the error pops up as execution error/external pause. The motors are working because I can control my X and Y axis, the machine just will not cut. Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it? Thank you.
 
This is an indication that the torch breakaway is tripped. With the torch in the up position, look at the indicators Breakaway 1 and 2 bottom right of the screen. If Breakaway 2 is the only one on and it goes off when you jog the Z axis down then we can Logon as Admin (Password 1234). Go to Machine Settings, then Inputs tab and for Breakaway 2 change Pause to read User.

You may have to clean the magnetic plate behind the breakaway mount, if this is not making good contact, the lights will come on, Or, if you have the red stop button on the table make sure it is not pressed in Or, the magnets may have to be adjusted to allow better contact across the breakaway magnet mounts.
 
If Breakaway 1 light is on then as scbron mentioned would be the course of action, could be that the magnet needs to be adjusted if it is interfering with the steal balls from fully seating in there indentations. On the back of the black nylon block are 3 standoff set screws that you use to adjust the depth of the magnet.
