It activates the mechanism to stop the blade.

Sorry, that's covered by Gass' patent.


Then you do it some other way. Grab the blade by a couple of steel
blocks that tighten down like brake calipers. Put explosive bolts in the
arbor mounting setup to force the blade down. Who cares if the blade
stops if it disappears fast enough?

Put a small container of compressed gas near an oak rust container, and
fire the gas when the saw detects a "hand foul". The blade will
disintegrate within just a few seconds of contact. Might not be as fast,
but getting going again is as simple as taking the arbor nut off and
installing a new blade. *g*
