IIRC there are 2 switches, the main that powers the safety device and

power up so to speak before you can turn the saw on. If during the
initial power up a fault is detected you can not turn the saw on.


OTOH, there is an override switch for use if you're cutting really green
wood. I'm still waiting for an accident report where someone forgot
they'd used that switch and left it in override.


The override resets when you turn the motor off, so there's no way to
leave it in override.
