designed to stop the blade from spinning in about five (5)

The electric blade brake of your miter saw has been designed
for highest degree of reliability, but unexpected circumstances
such as contamination on the commutator and brushes or

activate. If this condition occurs, turn the saw "ON" and "OFF"
four to five times without contacting the workpiece. If the tool
