!!!!DO NOT CUT LIST!!!! - (This is not an exhaustive list)
These will trigger the brake. Don't do it! It's expensive, decommissions the saw, and we have enough collective knowledge that we really should be able to avoid it if we pay attention.
- Mirrored Acrylic
- Conductive Material !!!THIS INCLUDES ANYTHING LASERCUT!!!
- Anything Laser-Cut. Yes, I'm saying it again.
- Wet Wood
- Aluminum and Other Metals. This also means that wood with nails, staples, etc. will trigger it.
- Wet Wood
- Lexan
- Green Pressure-Treated Wood
A great way to know if you are safe to cut is to test by putting your material up to the blade and seeing if the light by the on-switch turns red. If it does, do not cut it!
Rules
- Do not move the machine ever.
- Never use the table as a work surface.
- Always have the dust collection on. Turn it on before you plug in the saw and off after you unplug the saw.
- Always check your material on the blade before you spin up the blade. If the light turns red, DO NOT CUT.
- Always check your wood for nails or staples. If you're not sure, check the entire piece with a magnet.
- If you break something, or damage the saw, contact the area host immediately. Don't let others do more damage or hurt themselves by using a broken tool.
- Always dust the entire machine when you are done. Also check the motor compartment after every use and vacuum out as needed.
Additional Information
Dado Stack
Dado stack use requires separate authorization.
SawStop saws support 8″ dado sets only. The optional dado brake cartridge must be used for dado cuts. It has a larger brake pawl designed to stop the multiple blades in a dado set. In addition, you will also need to use a zero-clearance insert specifically for the dado set.

Sacrificial Fence
The Sacrificial Fence requires the dado stack authorization to have been completed.
A sacrificial fence is used in combination with the dado stack to create rebates (grooves) at the edges of boards. Trying to make a rebate at the edge of a board without a sacrificial fence in place will result in damage to the rip fence.
The sacrificial fence is placed on top of the standard table saw rip fence and secured with the screws on the back side. Ensure that the fence is square to the table while tightening the set screws, and that the fence is flush with the front of the rip fence. Then, slide the fence over top of the dado stack, adjusting the fence for the desired rebate width. Adjust the blade height for the desired depth of rebate.
See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYqvwlbm6B0 beginning at minute 8 for a demonstration of how the sacrificial fence works.
Blade Brake
This saw is equipped with a safety feature that will (hopefully) stop the blade when it contacts something conductive-- like your hand. However, that means you normally can't cut conductive things with this saw or you will trigger the safety brake. This is good if it was your hand in the way, but it also destroys the sawblade and requires installation of a replacement part that costs $70+ every time. And the saw will be down until the replacement can be installed.
According to the owner's manual: "Conductive materials such as aluminum and other metals, carbon fiber materials, mirrored acrylic, carbon-filled materials, etc. will typically cause the brake to activate." [Emphasis added.]
Other things that may trigger the brake include wet wood, and wood with embedded nails or staples. Lexan and green pressure-treated wood reportedly can also be a problem. That is why the rules instruct you to check your material on the side of the blade before spinning it up, and to check your wood for nails or staples!

Notes
- There's an m8 hole drilled and tapped in the mitre gauge. The post from a magnetic base of our dial indicators thread in. The post may require a spacer so the threads don't stick out (use a stack of washers or a larger-than-m8 nut).
- The right hand table adjusting screw was bent while aligning the table. The table was aligned without it. Aligning the arbor tilt axis will be *really tough* without a replacement. (Part #11 in the cabinet and table exploded diagram in the manual p98)
- The rear rip fence rail has places to put 4 countersunk allen bolts. The left hand bolt screwed into the main table was too long and made contact with an internal table part (probably the rear trunion). It probably pushed the table out of alignment and caused binding while re-aligning the table. That bolt was left out. Don't replace it!
