Using Your Saw
You can remove the blade and brake cartridge simultaneously by alternately moving the blade and then the
cartridge to the right to “walk” them off the arbor and pins. Often you can “walk” them to the right by hand, but
if not, you can use a blade wrench as a lever. To do this, place one end of the wrench between the blade and
the side of the arbor block as close to the arbor as possible. Then push the blade a short distance away from
the arbor ange (see Fig. 45). Next, place the end of the wrench between the brake pawl and the cartridge
mounting bracket to pry the cartridge away from the arbor block a short distance (see Fig. 46). Only move the
blade and cartridge a short distance each step, for example, a distance equal to one or two threads on the
arbor. Otherwise, the blade and cartridge may bind on the arbor and pivot pin. Repeat these steps to walk the
blade and cartridge off. A signicant force may be needed to pry the cartridge off the mounting pin if the brake
pawl deformed and pinched the pivot pin when it stopped the blade.
Using Your Saw
If the brake cartridge has not been activated,
slide the brake cartridge to the right until it clears
both pins as shown in Fig. 44. If the cartridge
has been activated, the brake pawl typically will
be locked onto the blade or dado set. As a result,
it is usually easiest to remove the blade and the
brake cartridge together as described below.
