Guide Rail Attachment
The guide rail attachment is used to connect the
router to a Festool guide rail system for making
guided straight cuts with the rail controlling the
router position.
1.
Before assembling the guide rail attachment,
adjust the guide rail gibs on the guide block.
These keep the guide block straight on the rail.
a.
Place the block on the rib of the guide rail.
b.
Tighten the two adjustment screws until the
block fits snuggly to the rib without wiggling,
but still moves freely.

2.
Install the guide rail baseplate on the router (see
page 11). The elevated foot plate compensates for
the thickness of the
guide rail to keep
the router flat.
3.
Insert the two
guide rods
through the
guide block and
into the
clamping bar.
Make sure the rods stick out from the clamping
bar slightly, as shown.
4.
Tighten the two guide rod thumbscrews.
5.
Insert the guide rods through the eyelets in the router base.
6.
Place the router on the guide rail, and adjust the router in or
out as needed. Make sure the router bit does not cut the
guide rail or splinter guard.
The splinter guard on the guide rail is used for
sawing operations, and should not be used for
routing operations. Make sure the router bit does
not cut into the splinter guard.
7.
Tighten the guide rail clamping knob on the router.
8.
Fine tune the router’s position by turning the fine adjustment
dial.
9.
When the lateral position is correct, tighten the guide block
clamping knob.
10.
Before starting the router, make sure that all clamping knobs
and devices are secured.
11.
Operate the router as described in the applicable section(s)
under
