BEFORE BEGINNING
Identify and verify that you have all the parts listed.
Read thru the instructions at least once, familiarizing
yourself with the parts and process before proceeding.
The Deluxe Stair Gauges are designed to fit on framing
squares that have both 2" and 1-1/2" wide legs that are no more
than .095" thick. The brass bolts will not harm the surface of
a steel square, but they can damage an aluminum square. The
Deluxe Stair Gauges will work on stair angles as low as 26º
(approximate rise of 6" and run of 12-1/4", for example)
.
ASSEMBLY
There are two Deluxe Stair Gauge assemblies. Loosen
the knob/brass screw located in the approximate center of
each gauge. Slide the larger Deluxe Stair Gauge
(8715B1)
on the 2" wide leg of your framing square and the smaller
one
(8715B2)
on the 1-1/2" wide leg as shown.
See fig. 1
For best accuracy,
ALWAYS
make sure the top inside
edge of the Deluxe Stair Gauge
(located inside the opening
of the Deluxe Stair Gauge and nearest the slotted end)
is pressed against the
outside edge
of the framing square
that you'll be marking against.
See arrows in fig. 1
Loosen the knob on each Deluxe Stair Gauge that
tightens it in position on the square. Reading along the
inside facing edge of each Deluxe Stair Gauge, use the
ruler markings on the
outside edge
of your square to set the
RISE
with the small Deluxe Stair gauge and the
RUN
with
the large Deluxe Stair Gauge. Position each Deluxe Stair
Gauge where desired, then retighten the knobs.
See fig. 1
If you want, you can use the Deluxe Stair Gauges
without attaching the 24" One Track. If you're not using the
One Track, you can also remove the One Track attachment
hardware mounted in each slot of the Deluxe Stair Gauges.
USE
The Deluxe Stair Gauges work by indexing both
inside facing corners
(located underneath)
against the
work. These corners are in line with the top inside facing
edges of the Deluxe Stair Gauges that you use to set
their locations with on the framing square.
