Why can't I remove the cartridge key from my SawStop PCS175 Saw?
If you cannot remove the cartridge key, ensure it is turned to the UNLOCKED position by turning the key clockwise until it stops. If it's still stuck, the shaft of the key might be binding; try turning and removing the key while pressing upward or downward on the key or cartridge.
Why won't my SawStop PCS175 motor start and both LEDs are off?
If the motor won't start and both LEDs are off, first, ensure the saw is getting power and the voltage is correct. Second, check if a brake cartridge is installed; if not, install one. Finally, the brake cartridge might be defective, so replace it with a new one.
What to do if my SawStop Saw motor starts slowly?
If the motor starts slowly, the electrical supply voltage may be too low. Ensure the correct voltage is supplied to the saw. Also, the belts may be worn or slipping, so adjust their tension or replace them if necessary.
What to do if my SawStop Saw vibrates too much?
If the saw vibrates excessively, the blade might be damaged or unbalanced, so replace it. Ensure the saw is on a level surface. Worn bearings or belts could also be the cause, so consider replacing them.
Why did the brake activate on my SawStop PCS175 Saw with no contact?
If the brake activated without contact, it could be due to electrically conductive material touching the blade, arbor, or arbor pulley. Ensure these parts are clear of such materials and use Bypass Mode for cutting conductive materials. Alternatively, the spreader or riving knife might be misaligned and contacting the blade, so ensure proper alignment with a 4-7 mm gap. Also, ensure the blade isn't contacting the brake pawl.
How to adjust my SawStop PCS175 Saw for accurate miter cuts?
If the saw does not make accurate miter cuts, adjust the miter gauge.
How to fix play in the elevation control of my SawStop PCS175 Saw?
If there's play in the elevation control, the elevation worm might not be fully engaged on the worm gear, or the threaded rod might not be fully on the pinion gear. Adjust the positions of the worm gear and threaded rod to ensure full engagement.
How to adjust my SawStop PCS175 Saw for accurate bevel cuts?
If the saw doesn't make accurate bevel cuts, the tilt limit stops or the tilt angle indicator may not be adjusted properly; adjust them.
Why can't I install the brake cartridge in my SawStop PCS175?
If you can't install the brake cartridge, ensure the holes in the cartridge shell align with the pivot and positioning pins. Also, check for and remove any debris on the pins or in the mounting holes. The blade might be interfering with the brake pawl, so adjust the brake positioning bolt to move the cartridge mounting bracket away from the blade.
How to fix my SawStop PCS175 Saw material binding when ripping?
If the material binds during a rip cut, the rip fence or the spreader/riving knife might not be aligned with the blade; align them. The material itself may be warped, so select a different piece. The feed rate could also be too high, so try a lower feed rate.
