Why can't I lower the blade below the table on my SawStop CB31230?
If you cannot lower the blade below the table on your SawStop Saw: * Adjust the lower elevation limit stop. * Check for sawdust accumulation within the trunnion assembly and underneath the lower elevation limit bolt. Remove any sawdust.
What to do if my SawStop CB31230 motor won't start but the LED is on?
If the motor won't start but at least one LED on the switch box is on, it could indicate: * The safety system has detected an error, indicated by an error code on the LEDs. Consult the list of System Status Codes to determine the cause and corrective action. * The motor has overheated and tripped the thermal overload switch. Wait 30 minutes for the motor to cool down, then try again.
Why can't I turn on my SawStop CB31230 in Bypass mode?
If you cannot turn the saw on in Bypass mode: * Ensure you are precisely following the correct steps for starting the saw in Bypass mode. * The safety system may have detected a system error. Consult the list of System Status Codes to determine the cause and corrective action.
How to fix a SawStop Saw that won't turn on in Bypass mode?
If you cannot turn on your SawStop Saw in Bypass mode: * Ensure you are precisely following the correct steps for starting in Bypass mode. * The safety system might be detecting an error, indicated by the LEDs. * Confirm the Bypass key is fully inserted and turned a full 90 degrees.
Why does the motor on my SawStop CB31230 start slowly or fail to reach full speed?
If the motor starts slowly or doesn't reach nominal speed: * Ensure that the correct voltage is being supplied to the saw, as the electrical supply voltage may be too low. * Verify that the line supplying power to the saw is sufficient for the required voltage and current, as the electrical supply line may be under-rated.
Why does my SawStop Saw vibrate so much?
Excessive vibration in your SawStop Saw can stem from several factors: * A damaged or unbalanced blade. Try replacing the blade. * An uneven floor. Move the saw to a level surface. * Worn bearings. You may need to replace the bearings. * Worn belts. Consider replacing the belts.
Why won't my SawStop Saw motor start, even though one or more LEDs are on?
If your SawStop Saw motor won't start but at least one LED is on, it could be due to: * The safety system detecting an error, displaying a code on the LEDs. * A defective cartridge. Try using a different brake cartridge. * The motor overheating and tripping the thermal overload switch. Wait 10 minutes and try again.
What causes the blade of my SawStop CB31230 to slow down during a cut without stopping?
If the blade on your SawStop Saw slows down during a cut but doesn't stop, check the following: 1. The motor belt and arbor belt tension. Adjust the motor position if the motor belt is too loose, or replace the arbor belt if it's too loose. 2. Ensure the spreader or riving knife is aligned with the blade. Also, if using the rip fence, make sure it's parallel to the blade to prevent binding. 3. Confirm that the voltage supplied to the motor is correct and that the wiring is the correct gauge for the motor's peak current draw.
What to do if I can't install the cartridge key in my SawStop CB31230?
If you're unable to install the cartridge key: * Adjust the brake position bolt clockwise until the closest point between the brake pawl and the blade is about 1/16” to 1/8”, as the brake position may be too far from the blade. * Rotate the key so that the handle is pointing directly toward the brake pawl, ensuring proper alignment with the keyhole. * Try installing the key while pressing upward or downward on the key or cartridge, as the shaft may be binding.
Why can't I install the brake cartridge in my SawStop CB31230?
If you cannot install the brake cartridge: * Ensure the mounting holes in the cartridge align with the pivot and positioning pins. * Check for debris on the pins or in the mounting holes and clean if necessary. * Adjust the brake positioning bolt to move the brake pawl away from the blade if the blade is interfering with it.
