Claims16
A saw device, comprising:
- a swing arm movable along a swing arm path between a first swing arm position and a second swing arm position;
- an actuating assembly configured to transfer a force to the swing arm resulting in a bias on the swing arm in a direction toward the swing arm position;
- a control system configured to control the actuating assembly;
- and
- a detection system configured to detect the operability of the actuating assembly without activating the actuating assembly.
