The power to the motor cuts as soon as the system is tripped.
If the saw is off and you touch the blade and try to turn it on, it won't. It senses the current draw from your finger and prevents the saw from turning on.
Look at the difference in cartridges. I don't think anything softer than aluminum will work. The idea is to stop the blade as quickly as possible. As well, the aluminum is shoved into the blade by a high tension spring. The cartridge is pretty much destroyed on impact. It's been 5+ years since the last replacement. It's a pretty cheap item to replace in the long run.
