OPERATOR TIPS Read these useful tips to get the best performance from your Accu-Rip: § Always use a sharp blade. Dull or worn blades can produce binding that can result in cuts that are not accurate. § Use the correct type of blade for the material that you are cutting. § Make sure your saw is in good condition, and all adjustment screws are tight. § Don't use excessive force when using your saw. The type of material you are cutting, and the sharpness of your saw blade will determine how hard you should push your saw during the cut. Light forward pressure should be used when making rip-cuts. § Before making cuts, always check to make sure the Zero mark on your AccuRip is precisely aligned with the 'zero' mark on your saw. § During repeated use, occasionally check and re-tighten the T-Bolts on your AccuRip. § As you near the end of your cut, do not push the Cut-Guide excessively against the side of the material. Allow both the Cut-Guide and your saw to move in a straight line through the last portion of your cut. CARE AND STORAGE OF YOUR ACCU-RIP § It is recommended that the Accu-Rip be removed from the saw for storing. § The Accu-Rip is a precision tool, and should be stored in a safe place to avoid accidental damage. It is supplied with a hole at the end so it can be hung in a suitable location. § All of the Accu-Rip components are corrosion resistant, however an occasional light coat of moisture displacing lubricant such as WD-40 will improve the performance. § Keep your Accu-Rip clean. Remove any sawdust, wood chips, or other debris from the moving parts, and from the Cut-Guide slot. 7
