Access Door Interlock Switches - SawStop ICS31230 Owner's Manual

Setting Up Your Saw

13. Access Door Interlock Switches:

As an additional safety feature, this saw is equipped with interlock switches on the belt access door and the
motor cover that prevent the motor from starting when either door is open. In the event that one of the doors is
opened while the motor is on, the corresponding interlock switch will cause the motor to shut down.
If either the access door or motor cover is open when you attempt to start the motor (or if a door opens when
the motor is already on), a System Status error will be displayed where the red LED is on solid and the green
LED flashes rapidly. If this occurs, you must close and latch the open door and then cycle the Main Power
switch on the Switch Box. (See page 28.)
The interlock switches are pre-positioned to be "closed" when the belt access door and motor cover are fully
closed. In the event one of the switches becomes misaligned, you can reposition the switch(es) as described
below to ensure all switches are closed when the access door and motor cover are closed.
WARNING! The door interlock switches are connected to 208-240 VAC. Attempting to
disable or modify the interlock switches or wiring could result in a severe injury or electric
shock. Turn the Disconnect Switch to OFF before adjusting the interlock switches.
Belt Access Door Interlock Switch: The interlock switch on the belt
access door is located inside the lower front edge of the access
door opening as shown in Fig. 23. The switch has a lever-type
actuator and is mounted on a bracket that is attached to the inside
of the cabinet by two screws.
If necessary, you can reposition the switch by loosening the screws
and moving the switch so that it is actuated when the belt access
door is fully closed. Re-tighten the screws to ensure the switch
remains in the correct position.
Motor Cover Interlock Switch: The interlock switch on the motor
cover is located near the lower rear edge of the motor cover
opening as shown in Fig. 24. This switch has a push-button type
actuator and is mounted to the inside of the cabinet by two screws.
An adjustable socket-head screw is threaded through a bracket on
the motor cover. This socket-head screw presses the switch closed
when the motor cover is closed.
If necessary you can reposition the switch by loosening the screws
and moving the switch. You can also adjust the position of the
socket-head screw by loosening the locking nut and turning the
screw. Re-tighten all hardware to ensure the switch continues to
operate correctly.
