Soft metals saw- training?

Hi,
I’m looking to cut some extruded aluminum (8020) to length relatively square (+/-1/32 in an inch). Some of the lengths are several feet long.
Does the soft metal saw have a training requirement or a lockout? I have used similar tools in the past and have downloaded the manual from the wiki.
My fallback is to cut on the bandsaw and square up on the mill.
Thanks much,
David

if you mean the Evolution Miter saw, then yes it has a lockout and training is on the spot and takes about 10 minutes. Any previous user who has taken the 10 minute training can show you.
The lockout is primarily to emphasize that Aluminum ONLY is to be cut on that saw. If you have the combination you’ve been told several times that it is for Aluminum ONLY. Cutting anything else than ALum would result in a loss of privilege. I won’t be up there until the weekend so just check to see who is in the machine shop and ask if they have taken the training and if they can show you.
