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. 87). 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.
The brake cartridge is mounted on a large pivot
pin and a smaller positioning pin as shown in
Fig. 88. Both the pivot pin and positioning pin
extend outward from a cartridge mounting
bracket that sets the position of the cartridge.
The cartridge mounting bracket also holds a
computer cable that self-aligns to the connector
in the side of the cartridge. A cartridge key
is used to lock the brake cartridge in place
against the cartridge mounting bracket.

WARNING! Always turn off the main power switch and unplug the power
cord before removing or installing the brake cartridge on your saw.
