  Melissa KelleyAug 6, 2025
  If the motor of your SawStop Saw stops unexpectedly during operation without brake activation, there are several potential causes: * The Start/Stop paddle may have been accidentally bumped. Ensure it's in the OFF position and restart the saw. * The material you're cutting might be overloading the safety detection system, especially with green or wet wood. Try using a different type of wood or switch to Bypass Mode. * There may have been a temporary loss of electrical power. Check that the saw is properly connected to a power supply with the correct voltage. * The brake cartridge could be faulty and may need replacement.

  If the brake on your SawStop Saw activated without any accidental contact, there are a few possible reasons: * An electrically conductive material might be touching the blade, arbor, or arbor pulley. Ensure no metal or conductive material is in contact. Use Bypass Mode when cutting conductive materials. * The spreader or riving knife may be misaligned and contacting the blade. Check their alignment and ensure they are securely clamped, maintaining a 4-8 mm gap between the blade and the spreader or riving knife. * The blade could be making contact with the brake pawl. Ensure there's a 1.5 mm to 3 mm gap between the blade teeth and the closest point on the brake cartridge. Use only a 10" blade.
