A rock processing machine, which comprises a plurality of different functional units that are each, at different times, activatable from an inactive state into an active state and deactivatable from the active state into the inactive state; the rock processing machine comprising a control panel that is embodied to switch the rock processing machine, in a starting switching operation constituting an operating state switching operation, from a less-active operating state into a more-active operating state and, in a stopping switching operation constituting an operating state switching operation, to switch it from a more-active operating state into a less-active operating state; more functional units (14, 16, 22, 34, 36, 38, 44) being activated in the more-active operating state than in the less-active operating state; the control panel comprising a plurality of state switching elements (74, 80, 94, 96) constituting switching elements; a state transition being associated with each state switching element (74, 80, 94, 96) from among the plurality, for at least one functional unit (14, 16, 22, 34, 36, 38, 44), in such a way that actuation of the state switching element (74, 80, 94, 96) on the functional unit (14, 16, 22, 34, 36, 38, 44) brings about, beyond an operating state switching operation, a state transition between the inactive state and the active state, wherein only exactly one state transition is associated with each state switching element (74, 80, 94, 96) from among the plurality of state switching elements (74, 80, 94, 96) for at least one functional unit (14, 16, 22, 34, 36, 38, 44), characterized in that a first set of switching elements (70, 72, 74, 80) participates in the starting switching operation, and that a second set of switching elements (94, 96), different from the first, participates in the stopping switching operation, wherein each set (58, 60) of switching elements (70, 72, 74, 80, 94, 96) is arranged on the control panel in at least one spatial arrangement relationship of a visually perceptible spatial arrangement relationship and a haptically perceptible spatial arrangement relationship, wherein the arrangement relationship corresponds to a predetermined actuation sequence of the switching elements (70, 72, 74, 80, 94, 96) of the respective set (58, 60). wherein only exactly one state transition is associated with each state switching element (74, 80, 94, 96) from among the plurality of state switching elements (74, 80, 94, 96) for at least one functional unit (14, 16, 22, 34, 36, 38, 44), characterized in that a first set of switching elements (70, 72, 74, 80) participates in the starting switching operation, and that a second set of switching elements (94, 96), different from the first, participates in the stopping switching operation, wherein each set (58, 60) of switching elements (70, 72, 74, 80, 94, 96) is arranged on the control panel in at least one spatial arrangement relationship of a visually perceptible spatial arrangement relationship and a haptically perceptible spatial arrangement relationship, wherein the arrangement relationship corresponds to a predetermined actuation sequence of the switching elements (70, 72, 74, 80, 94, 96) of the respective set (58, 60).
