    Why are the cuts from my SawStop Saw not even or clean?
    • C
      Caleb WashingtonAug 29, 2025
      Uneven or unclean cuts may be due to: * A dull blade. Replace or sharpen it. * A blade coated with pitch, gum, or other material. Clean or replace the blade. * Using the wrong blade for the material or cut. Replace the blade with the appropriate one.

    Why did the brake activate on my SawStop CB31230 Saw when there was no contact?
    • A
      Anthony PhillipsAug 28, 2025
      If the brake activated without accidental contact, check the following: * Ensure no metal or conductive material is touching the blade, arbor, or pulley. If cutting conductive material, use Bypass mode. * Verify the spreader or riving knife is correctly aligned and securely clamped. * Ensure a steady, noise-free electrical supply. If necessary, install line conditioners. * Make sure the saw isn't near sources of electrical noise. * Check that the screws attaching the three sensor wires to the bottom of the arbor block are tight.

    Why does the motor on my SawStop CB31230 start slowly or fail to reach full speed?
    • C
      Caitlin WilliamsAug 27, 2025
      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.

    What to do if my SawStop CB31230 motor won't start but the LED is on?
    • L
      Lisa ForbesAug 25, 2025
      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.
