60 SawStop 10” Contractor Saw
The brake cartridge is mounted on a large pivot pin and a smaller positioning pin as shown in Fig. 77. Both
the pivot pin and positioning pin extend outward from a cartridge mounting bracket that sets the position of
the cartridge. The cartridge mounting bracket also holds a computer cable that self-aligns to the computer
connector in the side of the cartridge. A cartridge key is used to lock the brake cartridge in place against the
cartridge mounting bracket.
To remove the cartridge, first remove the
cartridge key by turning it 90° clockwise and
then pulling it away from the cartridge (see
Fig. 78). Set the cartridge key aside for use
with the new cartridge.
It may take a small amount of force to turn
the key and pull it out. Make sure you turn the
key a full 90°, as the key cannot be pulled out
unless it has been fully rotated.
