Setting Up
Your Saw
5. Tilt Hand Wheel Handle Installation:
Install the handle on the tilt hand wheel by
screwing the threaded portion of the handle into
the matching hole on the hand wheel (see Fig. 8).
Use a wrench to tighten the handle securely to the
hand wheel.
6. Blade or Dado Installation:
Note:
if your saw uses three phase power, do not install the blade until the power supply has been connected
and you have verified that the motor spins in the correct direction. See page 24 for instructions on connecting
your saw to a power supply.
The blade that is included with the saw is coated in oil to prevent rust during shipment. Clean this blade
thoroughly before installation. If you wish to install a different blade, use a high quality blade that does not have
anti-rust coatings on the teeth (e.g., lacquer, wax, etc.) Such coatings can interfere with (or potentially defeat)
the ability of the system to detect contact. SawStop also recommends using blades without depth-limiting
shoulders, since blades with depth-limiting shoulders may take longer to stop in the event of an accident.
The SawStop safety system is designed for use with standard 10 inch blades with kerfs from
3
⁄
32
inch to
3
⁄
16
inch.
Blades with kerfs much thinner than
3
⁄
32
inch should not be used because those blades might not be strong
enough to withstand the force applied by the brake when it activates. As a result, those blades might deform
and stop more slowly in the event of an accident, resulting in a more serious injury. Blades with kerfs much
thicker than
3
⁄
16
inch are heavier than standard
1
⁄
8
inch kerf blades, and should not be used because they may
stop more slowly than standard blades in the event of an accident, resulting in a more serious injury.
Setting Up Your Saw
WARNING!
Do not attempt to use saw blades made of materials that are electrically
non-conductive (e.g., abrasive blades, blades with plastic hubs, etc.). The SawStop
®
safety system will not allow the saw to operate if these blades are installed.
WARNING!
Only install one standard 10 inch blade or one 8 inch dado set (with optional dado
cartridge). Do not install other size blades or dado sets. Do not install molding heads or other
non-standard cutters. Use of these non-standard blades or cutters may cause serious injury.
WARNING!
Always turn off the Main Power Switch and switch the Disconnect Switch to
the OFF position before removing or installing a blade or dado set on your saw.
