So here is how I read this. If the lights go out you try not to continue
sawing. In the event you are very close to the blade while cutting and
the power fails the blade is going to stop more quickly and the brake
may activate before the blade stops.


How so????...they just explicitly said "under those conditions...

Power for one to two seconds to trip the brake is enough. I think if you
have a black out you are not likely to continue pushing your hand
towards the blade and if you do the wood should stop the blade.

I repeat their words...

"So under those conditions (saw coasting down, no power to saw at all)

No power, no trip...
