I know there's a bypass mode for very green wood that otherwise shorts
out the system; if one were to use up the brake cartridge on hand,
will the saw operate in bypass mode?

There is the master switch near the bottom on the saw, it can be locked
in the off position, then the boot switch which runs diagnostics and
"warms up the brake". When the lights stop blinking and the green light
remains on you can then turn on the saw. ...



So other than a direct complete external bypass to the motor itself it
wouldn't run is what I get out of that...so the complaint that if didn't
have a spare on hand one's out of business until get one is so.

Just curious if there were a way to do as Robert suggested of disabling
the system to keep going...
