==Saw Stop System==
The Saw Stop table saw has a safety system that will automatically retract and stop the blade when body parts contact the blade. Always check that the material being cut will not accidentally activate the safety system. Note that this system will destroy the cartridge and sometimes the blade.

Certain materials cannot be cut on the SawStop table saw. These include:
*Wet Lumber (above Fiber Saturation Point/above 20% moisture content)
*Metal
*Foil-backed materials, including foil-backed acrylic
*Carbonized (charred) wood, including laser cut edges
*Epoxy resin

To check materials:
#Turn on the room exhaust, dust collector, and main power switch.
#With the blade stopped, press the material against the blade. Observe the colour of the indicator light:
*Green means okay to cut.
*Red means not okay to cut. The SawStop system will activate.

If the SawStop device activates during a cut:
#Turn off the power and dust collector.
#Report the activation directly to maintenance staff or via the #125-broken channel. 

Maintenance staff will replace the SawStop cartridge and determine whether or not a safety incident report is required.

===Bypass mode===
You can bypass the SawStop system if you are cutting materials that would otherwise set it off. 

#Turn and hold the bypass key (on the right side of the control panel)
#While holding the key, wait one second then pull the start/stop paddle. The blade will start spinning.
#Keep holding the bypass key for at least one second after the motor has started.
#The system will turn off bypass mode once the blade has come to a stop. You will need to turn it on again if you want to complete another cut.
