RE: Question(s) for Sawstop owners/users - jcousins2 - 07-11-2018 i recently had a similar thing happen with my dado blade - turned the saw on and the cartridge fired - did not really embed the blade in the shoe - balso took awhile to get it free - then sent it to sawstop - they analyzed it and sent me a replacement dado brake. i only turn off the saw's switch when changing blades. jerry RE: Question(s) for Sawstop owners/users - RipSaw - 07-11-2018 If you have a brake fire at turn-on, it probably means you have (had) a brake with older firmware. That issue was corrected five years or so ago. Sawstop customer service verified my brakes do not have the firmware fix, and are therefore susceptible to a misfire at power up, if the two halves of the power switch are not well matched. I requested they swap them out with fixed ones, and they said that they could, or they could instead just replace the brake, plus give me a new Sawstop blade, in the unlikely event one of mine ever misfires due to the issue. That's what I chose, but this was all verbal, and I have nothing in writing. Carl RE: Question(s) for Sawstop owners/users - Handplanesandmore - 07-12-2018 The manual says unplug the saw when changing the blade. Serious injury could be the outcome if the misfire happens while changing the blade.

The green light being on, a least that's my definition. Using the master switch would be a good solution when changing blades and if my saw will not be used for a length of time, I'll switch it off. Also if storms are threatening us, but then I also flip off the breakers for that.

Have heard that happening when the blade to brake distance is not correctly adjusted when blades and dado stacks are installed. |
