Using The Saw In Bypass Mode - SawStop CB31230 Owner's Manual

Using Your Saw

5. Using the Saw in Bypass Mode:

If you need to cut electrically conductive materials such as aluminum with this saw, you must operate the saw
in Bypass Mode to prevent the brake from being activated. To ensure that the saw is never placed in Bypass
Mode accidentally, the safety system requires you to precisely follow the procedure below to turn on the saw
in Bypass Mode.
To Operate the Saw in Bypass Mode:
a. Turn the Bypass Key clockwise and hold it for at least 1 second (see Fig. 26). Note: to prevent unauthorized
use of the saw in Bypass Mode, remove the
Bypass Key from the saw when not in use.)
b. While holding the Bypass Key turned, pull the
Start/Stop paddle out to the ON position. The
blade will start to spin and the Bypass Mode
status code will flash on the LED's.
c. Continue to hold the Bypass Key turned for
at least 1 second after the motor starts. If you
release the Bypass key before the 1 second
has elapsed, the motor will stop and the "Switch
Start/Stop Paddle to OFF" error code will be
displayed. If this happens, switch the Start/Stop
paddle to OFF and repeat this procedure from
the beginning.
Note: the safety system cannot be placed
in Bypass Mode unless the brake cartridge
is properly installed and all error codes are
cleared.
WARNING! Never run the saw in Bypass Mode unless necessary to cut conductive materials. The
brake system will not activate when the saw is in Bypass Mode and a serious injury could result.
