If the brake cartridge has been actuated, the brake will be locked onto the blade or dado set. In this case, leave

the blade or dado set on the arbor and continue with the instructions below. If the brake cartridge has not been

actuated, remove the blade or dado set from the arbor as described on page 17.

WARNING! Always make sure both the Disconnect Switch and the Main Power

Switch are in the OFF position before removing or installing the brake cartridge.

Changing the brake cartridge is both simple and foolproof. The safety system will not allow the motor to start

if the brake cartridge is installed improperly. 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

Disconnect Switch is switched to the OFF position.

The brake cartridge is mounted beneath

the table and behind the blade (see

Fig. 40). To change the cartridge, begin

by setting the tilt angle to about 0 degrees

and raising the blade elevation to close

to the maximum height. This allows the

easiest access to the brake cartridge.

Next, remove the table insert from the

table (see page 22), and swing the rear

of the dust shroud door to the right, away

from the brake cartridge. Rotate the

spreader/riving knife clamping handle

fully upward to provide clearance for

removing the brake cartridge.

WARNING! Never drop or otherwise subject a brake cartridge to misuse as this may

damage the brake cartridge and potentially cause the brake pawl to be released

unexpectedly and result in a serious injury.
