Adjusting The Accu-Rip Saw Guide To Fit Other Saws - Craftsman 25980 - Accu-Rip Saw Guide User Instructions

Fig. 6a
Fig. 6a Shows the L-Brackets positioned properly. Note that
the T-Bolts are in an Open area for easy access, and that the
L-Brackets "reach" into the saw. This may vary with different
saw designs.
The Accu-Rip Saw Guide will work properly so long as the
sharp points on the T-Bolts are tightened firmly into any area
of the saw base. Because of the many designs of circular
saws, you may need to try more than one position for the L-
Brackets. Choose the position that works best for you saw's
design.
Be sure Blade is FLUSH
with Edge of Material.
Blade Guard must be UP!

Hand-tighten the T-Bolts (A) firmly onto the saw's
base plate as shown in Fig. 8. You should not use a
tool to tighten the T-Bolts. The sharp points on the
T-Bolts will make a slight indention in the base plate
of your saw. When securely tightened, the T-Bolts
will prevent the Accu-Rip from moving during use.
This is very important to maintaining the
accuracy of your cuts.

With everything in position as instructed, now tighten
the Retainer Screws (B). Use a COIN OR SMALL
SCREWDRIVER to firmly tighten these screws as
shown in Fig. 7. The Retainer Screws are designed
to hold the L-Brackets and T-Bolts in the position you
choose for YOUR saw. The next time you attach the
Accu-Rip to your saw, the L-Brackets and T-Bolts will
already be set in this position, making re-attaching
the Accu-Rip quicker and easier. Your Accu-Rip is
now set for your saw. Should it be necessary to reset
the Accu-Rip for your saw, repeat steps 1 thru 7.

Adjusting the Accu-Rip Saw Guide to fit other saws:

A) Loosen the Retainer Screws to allow the L-Brackets
to move freely.
B) Repeat Steps 1-7 above to adjust for the proper
position of the L-Brackets and T-Bolts for that
particular saw.
