			==How ''not'' to accidentally trigger the brake==
			There are several things that will cause the brake to trigger when you did not mean to. It mostly is:

			* Don't be electrically-conductive
			* Don't be harder than wood

			Specifically:

			* '''Don't touch the blade.''' Your body is conductive (which is the point of triggering the blade).
			* '''Wait a couple seconds after turning off the saw.''' The sensor is active for a couple of seconds ''even after the blade is stopped''. Make sure status light has stopped blinking. Grab the far end of the wood instead.
			* '''Don't cut wet wood.''' Green/wet wood may trigger the brake.
			* '''Don't cut laser-cut wood.''' As [[#Laser-cut plywood\|noted below]], lasers carbonize the wood, and that makes them conductive.
			* '''Don't put the miter gauge through the saw blade.''' It's hard.
