Installing a Brake Cartridge: To install a brake cartridge, the above process is reversed. Align the mounting

holes in the cartridge with the pivot pin and positioning pin in the saw. Push the cartridge onto the pins until

it rests against the cartridge mounting bracket. The cartridge will automatically align with the computer cable

mounted in the saw.

Next, align the cartridge key with the hole in the cartridge housing. See Fig. 43. The key shaft has a ridge that

must be aligned with a recess in the key hole in the housing. As a result, the key can only be inserted into the

hole when the red handle is pointing toward the brake pawl. Press the cartridge key fully into the cartridge

and rotate the key 90° counter-clockwise to lock the cartridge in place. The key will not rotate unless it is fully

seated against the side of the cartridge housing and the cartridge housing is pressed against the cartridge

mounting bracket.

Once the key is rotated to its locked position, it cannot be removed and the cartridge will be locked in place.

Rotating the key to the locked position also actuates a switch inside the cartridge that signals to the safety

system that the cartridge is correctly installed and locked in place. The system will not allow the saw to be

started if the switch is not actuated. If you attempt to turn on the saw when the key is not in the locked position,

the LED lights on the Switch Box will flash a status code as described on page 30. Turning the key to the locked

position is sometimes referred to as turning the key to “ON”.

To complete the installation, the brake cartridge must be correctly positioned relative to the blade or dado set.

Once the brake cartridge is installed, fully rotate the spreader/riving knife clamping handle counter-clockwise

to lock the spreader or riving knife in place. Next, install the blade or dado set as described on page 17, and

adjust the brake position as described on page 18. Rotate the blade by hand at least 1 complete revolution to

ensure that the blade does not contact the brake.

If you changed the brake cartridge from the side of the saw reinstall the dust shroud door and close the motor

cover. If you changed the brake cartridge through the table opening, make sure the dust shroud door is closed.

Finally, reinstall the table insert as described on page 22.

WARNING! Always check, and if necessary, adjust the position of the brake after changing

the brake cartridge or the blade. An improperly positioned brake could increase the time

required to stop the blade in the event of accidental contact, or cause the brake to actuate

unexpectedly if the blade comes into contact with the brake.
