FAQs
What materials can I cut with the guide rail system?
The Makita 1.5m Guide Rail System is designed for use with sheet materials like plywood, panelling, and other similar materials. It is not suitable for cutting solid timber.
Are the Guide Rail Clamps included?
No, the Guide Rail Clamps are sold separately and must be purchased as an additional accessory.
Can I use the guide rails for angled cuts?
Yes, you can achieve angled cuts by using the Bevel Guide (194433-0), which is sold separately.
How do I replace the vinyl and rubber seats?
The vinyl and rubber seats have a peel/stick construction, making them easy to replace. Simply peel off the old seats and apply the new ones.
What is the purpose of the rubber splinter guards?
The rubber splinter guards indicate the exact cutting line, ensuring precise and clean cuts.
What is included in the guide rail bag?
The guide rail bag can carry 2 guide rails up to 1.5m, as well as smaller rails due to central securing straps. It also includes 2 large 40cm wide external pockets for accessories like saw blades, clamps, and connecting bars, foam padding for protection, and a rubber handle and shoulder strap for ease of carrying.
How can I combine guide rails for longer cuts?
You can combine guide rails using Guide Rail Connectors (P-20177), which are sold separately.
Troubleshooting
Saw is not cutting straight.
Check the alignment of the saw blade with the guide rail and the material. Ensure the guide rail is securely fastened and that the saw is perpendicular to the rail.
Material is slipping during cutting.
Verify that the rubber seats on the underside of the guide rail are clean and gripping the material effectively. Use Guide Rail Clamps (sold separately) for added security, especially when cutting smooth materials.
Guide rail is not sliding smoothly.
Clean the vinyl seat on the guide rail to remove any debris. Ensure the saw base is clean and free of obstructions. Check the saw base for compatibility with the guide rail.
