AHK how to stop timer immediately?

SetTimer, Test, 1000
Return

Test:
Send, a
Sleep, 3000
Send, b
Sleep, 3000
Send, c
Sleep, 3000
Return

1::
Send, x
SetTimer, Test, Off
Return

If I press "1" on 5th second, result will be: "axbc"

How to make timer stop running its content immediately, so in case above result would be "ax"?

One way of doing it by checking whether the hotkey has been triggered (via the state variable) after every sleep cycle

;state:=0 ;state is zero by default
SetTimer, Test, 1000
Return

Test:
Send, a
Sleep, 3000
if(state)
return
Send, b
Sleep, 3000
if(state)
return
Send, c
Sleep, 3000
Return

1::
Send, x
SetTimer, Test, Off
state := 1
Return
