IMPORTANT! ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE ATTACHING THE ACCU-RIP TO YOUR SAW. NOTE: The Accu-Rip is fully assembled. The various screws and bolts should not be removed. You should only loosen and retighten these parts as you setup, attach, and remove the Accu-Rip. The Accu-Rip is designed to allow you to adjust the tool to fit most circular saws with blades on the RIGHT SIDE. Some circular saws, particularly older saws, may have designs that prevent the use of the Accu-Rip with that saw. HOW TO SET UP AND ATTACH THE ACCU-RIP TO YOUR SAW Make sure your saw is unplugged from the power source!
