TABLE SAW WITH ACTUATOR RESET MECHANISM
First Claim
1. A table saw comprising:
- a work-piece support surface;
a swing arm assembly movable along a swing path between a first swing arm position whereat a portion of a shaping device supported by the swing arm assembly extends above the work-piece support surface and a second swing arm position whereat the portion of the shaping device does not extend above the work-piece support surface;
a latch hold pivotable between a first latch hold position whereat the swing arm assembly can be supported by the latch hold in the first swing arm position and a second latch hold position whereat the swing arm assembly cannot be supported by the latch hold in the first swing arm position;
an actuator chamber configured to receive at least one actuator;
an opening in the actuator chamber; and
a plug aligned with the opening and connected to the latch hold such that when the latch hold is in the second latch hold position the plug is positioned at least partially within the actuator chamber.

6. A table saw comprising:
-
a work piece support surface; a shaping device support shaft retractable along a retraction path from a first shaft position to a second shaft position, wherein the second shaft position is more distal to the work piece support surface than the first shaft position; a latch hold movable between a first latch hold position whereat the shaping device support shaft can be supported in the first shaft position and a second latch hold position whereat the shaping device support shaft cannot be supported in the first shaft position; an actuator chamber configured to receive at least one actuator; an opening in the actuator chamber; and a plug aligned with the opening and connected to the latch hold such that when the latch hold is in the second latch hold position the plug is positioned at least partially within the actuator chamber. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
