Always check the gap between the blade and brake cartridge after you change the blade. If you switch to your plywood blade and it happens to be just a bit larger than your crosscut blade, and you happen to get distracted and forget to check the gap between the blade and brake cartridge, and then you turn the saw on, the brake cartridge will pop, and then you drive down to Woodcraft to buy a new one. Care to guess how I know this? :(
Fortunately, the brake cartridge pops before the blade spins up, so the only thing hurt was a little pride and my wallet. I hate to admit this, but this is the second time I've done that.
Always mind the gap!
