What do I do if I activate the safety system’s brake cartridge? What will it cost to reset the safety system? Does activation damage the saw?

If you activate the safety system’s brake, you will need to replace the brake cartridge and evaluate the condition of the blade for future use. Replacing the brake cartridge is simple and can take as little as 90 seconds to complete. A standard brake cartridge costs $89 USD and a dado brake cartridge $109 USD. SawStop saws are designed to absorb the force of activation and are not damaged by it.
