Do I need a specific guide rail for this accessory?

How do I clean the FS-RSP?

Can this be used on the front and rear of the guide rail?

Yes, the FS-RSP can be used in both front and rear positions on the FS/2 guide rail, depending on the application and desired functionality.

Troubleshooting

Limit stop does not securely attach to the guide rail.

Ensure the guide rail is a genuine Festool FS/2 model and is clean. Check for any debris or damage on both the limit stop and the guide rail's groove.

Saw still rebounds slightly after contact with the limit stop.

Verify the limit stop is positioned correctly at the very end of the plunge cut area. Ensure the saw's plunge mechanism is functioning smoothly and not sticking.

Limit stop slides too easily during use.

Confirm that the locking mechanism on the guide rail is properly engaged. The stop should provide resistance when not being intentionally moved.
