Brake Cartridge
WARNING! Always make sure that the main power switch is in the OFF position and that the
power cord is unplugged before removing or installing the brake cartridge on your saw.
Changing the Brake Cartridge
Changing the brake cartridge is both simple and foolproof. The safety system will not allow the motor to start
unless the brake cartridge is correctly installed. Before changing the brake cartridge, make sure the Start/Stop
paddle is pushed in to the OFF position, the main power switch is toggled down to the OFF position, and the
power cord is unplugged.
The brake cartridge is mounted beneath the table and behind the blade (see Fig. 76). To change the cartridge,
begin by setting the tilt angle to about 0° and raising the blade elevation to the maximum height. This allows
the easiest access to the brake cartridge.
Next, remove the table insert from the table (see page 28). Rotate the blade guard clamping handle fully
upward to provide clearance for removing the brake cartridge.
