Calibration for stock wider than the guide rail
1.
Mount the TPG Parallel Guide T-Track to the GRS-16 Guide Rail Square using the (2) M6 x 10 mm
knobs provided.
2.
Slide the Flip-Stop onto the TPG Parallel Guide T-Track, cursor end first, and secure the knob.
3.
Attach the GRS-16 Parallel Guide assembly to the right end of the Festool® or Makita®
guide rail.
4.
Mark a line on the workpiece at 10 inches (254 mm) from the edge.
5.
Place the assembled Guide Rail + GRS-16 Parallel Guide on the workpiece and set the
cursor to the 10-inch (254 mm) mark.
6.
Loosen the Screw securing the Calibration Rod and slide the rod so that it contacts the edge of the
workpiece. Then tighten the screw securely with the 2.5 mm L-wrench provided.
7.
This calibration should be complete for this saw and guide rail combination, but cuts should be
checked occasionally to confirm nothing has changed.
Use
1.
Confirm that stock is wider than the guide rail.
2.
Set the cursor on the TPG Parallel Guide to the required width of cut.
3.
Set the saw to the required depth of cut.
4.
Position the reference edge of the GRS-16 Guide Rail Square against the edge of the workpiece
perpendicular to the cut.
5.
Move the Parallel Guide + Guide Rail so that the head of the Calibration Rod rests against the edge
of the workpiece which will be parallel to the cut.
6.
It may be helpful to raise the guide rail slightly to ease the friction caused by its anti-slip strips and
make it easier to reposition.
