Using

Your Saw

You can remove the blade and brake cartridge simultaneously by alternately moving the blade and then the

cartridge to the right to “walk” them off the arbor and pins. Often you can “walk” them to the right by hand, but

if not, you can use a blade wrench as a lever. To do this, place one end of the wrench between the blade and

the side of the arbor block as close to the arbor as possible. Then push the blade a short distance away from

the arbor flange (see Fig. 45). Next, place the end of the wrench between the brake pawl and the cartridge

mounting bracket to pry the cartridge away from the arbor block a short distance (see Fig. 46). Only move the

blade and cartridge a short distance each step, for example, a distance equal to one or two threads on the

arbor. Otherwise, the blade and cartridge may bind on the arbor and pivot pin. Repeat these steps to walk the

blade and cartridge off. A significant force may be needed to pry the cartridge off the mounting pin if the brake

pawl deformed and pinched the pivot pin when it stopped the blade.

Using Your Saw

If the brake cartridge has not been activated,

slide the brake cartridge to the right until it clears

both pins as shown in Fig. 44. If the cartridge

has been activated, the brake pawl typically will

be locked onto the blade or dado set. As a result,

it is usually easiest to remove the blade and the

brake cartridge together as described below.
