4. If an Activation Cartridge 28 is present, discon-
nect the cartridge plug 36 from the cartridge by
squeezing the latches between the thumb and
forefinger, then sliding the plug back (Fig. 7).
Extreme force on this wire
may damage it. The Active
Response Technology™ system will disable the
saw if the wire is damaged.
5. Grasp the left cylinder of Activation Cartridge
(if present) and slide it up out of the saw. If
the system has just fired the active cylinder,
then the right side piston 28b will extend over
an inch out of the cartridge (Fig. 7). When both
pistons are extended, discard the cartridge.
6. Slide a functioning Activation Cartridge 28a into
the right position.
7. Reattach the cartridge plug 36 to the cartridge's
right side cylinder.
8. Push down on the left cylinder Activation Car-
tridge 28 with one hand. Tighten the Activation
Cartridge Retainer 33 clockwise with the other
hand into the saw until it is finger tight. Then
using the activation cartridge installation tool
rotate tighten the retainer into place 1/8th turn
further (Fig. 8).
Always tighten the activa-
tion cartridge retainer as
instructed. Failure to tighten the activation car-
tridge retainer as instructed can reduce effective-
ness of the Active Response Technology™ sys-
tem and result in tool damage and personal injury.
Ensure the riving knife is
positioned away from the
path of the hand as it moves upward. Injury to
the hand or fingers is possible if they collide. (See
step 2 above)
9. Pull and hold the drop arm lock 31 toward the
front of the saw. Take the blade wrench 14 and
slide it over the arbor nut. Grasp the handle
tightly. Quickly pull the wrench up. The drop
arm 27 should connect solidly to the latch (Fig.
9). If the drop arm 27 fails to latch, make sure
the Activation Cartridge 28 is properly in place
and the Activation Cartridge Retainer 33 is
screwed down as instructed in step 8 above.
10. Raise the riving knife by loosening the riving
knife release lever 37 (Fig. 5). Position table in-
sert 21 in pocket of table so tabs 21a on table
