Does this saw have an electric brake to stop the blade?

No, the Hitachi Model C12FDH miter saw does not feature an electric brake. The Hitachi miter saws that have this feature are Models C10FSB, C10FSH, C10FSBP4, C10FSHPS and C15FB.

CPO says no. But from using this model the blade stops quickly enough you would think it has one. Maybe a couple seconds.

Yes, after you release the trigger, the electric brake automatically slows the blade to a quick stop

I haven't useed it since October, but I don't remember ever having to worry about the blade spinning once the trigger is released. So yes I do believe it has a break.

Hi, yes there is a safety switch, you have to push in a button and hold it in for the trigger to function the saw, but it's pretty ergonomic and easy to use...This is a great saw and works very well just like a regular chain saw...I have cut limbs of 6 inches in diameter with no problem at all, just watch where you stand so the limb doesn't fall on you when it comes down...lol

This particular saw has no battery or charger included. It is a "bare tool" meaning that it is the saw only with no battery, charger, blades or any other accessories. The saw having the battery and charger has no letter "B" at the end of the model number.

No it does not. It has a three prong plug that only 110volt system. Decent saw for the money.

Yes, the blade is on the right hand side of the saw. Mine works great for what I use it for. If I used all the time I might want to spend a little more money..

It does, but with very limited capabilities. It cannot replace a table saw. Best wishes.

It does, but the price is only slightly less than a replacement saw. http://coronatoolsusa.com/replacement-parts/saws.html

John, there is no saw blade. It is a good utility tool for me around the ranch. A saw blade is probably not something I would use. Cheers, Terry

No, but it has a variable speed dial with six different preset speeds to match the speed of the saw to the application.

No...mine was new when I received it.. This is a great saw, do not hesitate to purchase it. I have submitted warranty papers but have yet to have a need to use the warranty.

Yes it does. Highly recommend this handy little saw! It's sharp, lightweight, and easy to fold up and store.

My wife, who is the primary user, did not use it enough yet to brake the blade - a frequent occurrence I can assure you. That is why we got the more professional machine. Sorry, No new blades yet. No idea where I would go at this time. rlp

Yes, my saw came with at least 2 blades. Great little saw for small projects around the yard.!

No. It is a saw attached to an electric handle and you move it back and forth like a saw while it vibrates electrically.

No. There is a noticeable torque twist when you engage the trigger. The saw is well designed and self corrects almost immediately

Yes the saw blade is attached with a wing nut. This is a great trimmer. It is a little heavy but I am 76 years old and not quite as strong as when I was younger. I would definitely purchase the trimmer again.
