Size of blade is critical. | Size of blade is critical. | ||
SawStop recommends a blade size of 10", plus or minus 1/16", with a kerf between 3/32" and 3/16". IF A blade not exactly 10" (perhaps due to repeated sharpening), and the clamping cartridge cannot be adjusted properly, the safety system may take longer to clamp down in case of "triggering", not allow the saw to start, or if the blade is oversize, may cause immediate triggering, failure to start or maybe other problems. Blades with coated teeth are also not recommended as they can inhibit the safety system. | SawStop recommends a blade size of 8" or 10", plus or minus 1/16", with a kerf between 3/32" and 3/16".

Accidentally triggering the safety feature will result in a cost of around $135 to replace the cartridge, and $80-120 to replace the blade, costs which will be the responsibility of the member. | Accidentally triggering the safety feature will result in a cost of around $135 to replace the cartridge, and $80-120 to replace the blade, costs which will be the responsibility of the member. | ||

'''Removing an activated brake cartridge''' | |||
The cartridge & blade are likely to be fused together, which requires both pieces being removed together. | |||
*First, lower the blade as far as it will go. This should trigger the cartridge release. | |||
*Raise the blade as high as it will go | |||
*Remove the red locking handle | |||
*If the blade & cartridge will not easily slide out, use a Sawstop wrench to pry it out. | |||
'''Dado blades''' | |||
Dado stack sets that have full-diameter chippers are *not* supported, as told by Sawstop support. Use of these, even with everything properly setup, can result in the arbor being bent at the time of cartridge activation due to the significant kinetic energy & inertia resulting from the even-more-than-normal mass of this type of dado blade. Only 2-tooth 'rectangular' chippers are supported by the dado brake cartridge. | |||
