A cutting tool such as a miter saw, arranged to have an arrangement for
selectively making and breaking power of a first circuit and an
independent second second circuit each connected respectively to a first
motor operating the cutting tool and to a second motor operating a dust
suppressor such as a vacuum device. The arrangement enables the two
circuits to serve the first and second motors in synchrony and to be
operated by the switch of the cutting tool. The arrangement may comprise
a relay adapted to energize and de-energize the second circuit. The
second circuit may comprise one or more electrical receptacles enabling
the second motor to operate under control of the switch after being
plugged in to one of the receptacles. The cutting tool may comprise a
receptacle which is hard wired to the first circuit. The cutting tool may
incorporate a dynamic brake.
