Been reading the manual for new bandsaw G0514X2 and am a bit confused. A foot brake is shown on Grizzy advertisement page but the instructions show only a foot actuated switch to shut off power to the motor and specifically says to not use other than in an emergency. I thought bandsaw foot brakes were intended to quicky stop the blade motion after one turns the switch off . Do other manufacturers' bandsaws with foot brakes just shut off the motor?
Note states: Use the brake only in emergency situations to stop power from going to the motor and bring the blade to a stop.
The caution states: The foot brake will not stop the bandsaw wheels and blade instantly. DO NOT become over confident and relax your safety awareness because of the foot brake feature.
Cannot get into the cabinet to see the brake and Grizzly is closed today.
