More Information
Summary:In various embodiments, a surgical instrument comprising an end effector and a handle comprising an opening and an access panel covering the opening is disclosed. The surgical instrument further comprises a motor, a power source, a firing member movable through a staple firing stroke and a retraction stroke, an end-of-stroke switch configured to be actuated to automatically retract the firing member through the retraction stroke, and a bailout switch configured to prevent power from flowing from the power source to the motor when the bailout switch is in an open state and permit power to flow from the power source to the motor when the bailout switch is in a closed state. A user of the surgical instrument is provided access to a retraction lever to manually retract the firing member through the retraction stroke when the access panel is in the open position.
