Abstract
A table saw in one embodiment a swing arm movable along a swing arm path between a first swing arm position adjacent a latch hold mechanism and a second swing arm position spaced apart from the latch hold mechanism, a blade supported by the swing arm, a charge coupling plate mounted in close proximity to the blade so as to form a capacitor, an actuating device configured to transfer a force to the swing arm when the swing arm is maintained at the first swing arm position resulting in a bias on the latch hold mechanism, and a control system configured to control the actuating device to transfer the force to the swing arm in response to a sensed change in capacitance of the capacitor.
