POWER TOOL WITH PYROTECHNIC LOCKOUT

A power tool assembly includes a workpiece support surface， a latch movable between a first latch position whereat a drop arm assembly cannot be moved from a first position whereat a shaping device does not extend above the workpiece support surface to a second position whereat the shaping device extends above the workpiece support surface， to a second latch position whereat the drop arm assembly can be moved from the first position to the second position， an actuator housing configured to receive an actuator device， and a reaction plug configured to be selectively seated with the actuator housing， the reaction plug configured such that when an actuator device is installed in the actuator housing and the reaction plug is moved from an unseated position to a fully seated position， the reaction plug forces the actuator device to move the latch from the first latch position to the second latch position.
