Issuing commands to shell

I just found out that my Safari pause and resume script doesn't work since the shell commands I'm executing are erroring out.

What works in the Terminal:

kill -SIGSTOP 580

Returns this when I try to issue a do shell script:

do shell script "kill -SIGSTOP 580"

--> error "sh: line 0: kill: SIGSTOP: invalid signal specification"number 1

Any ideas on what I need to escape to make this work?

TIA
