Report a Save (Known or Suspected Finger Contact)

Please complete the following questionnaire. If you’ve already received a case number and instructions from us, you may proceed with sending in your activated brake cartridge. If we receive your completed form and find that no case has been assigned, we will forward instructions via email for sending in your activated cartridge with a case number assigned. After receiving your completed form and activated brake cartridge, if our diagnostic process confirms that skin contact caused the activation, we will send a replacement cartridge—free of charge—to the address you provided. This form should only be used for activations where finger contact is known or suspected. If the cause of activation is unknown, please complete the Brake Evaluation (Unknown Cause) form at https://sawstop.eu/brake-activation-unknown-cause/.
