2. Slide the rail connector into the channel on the underside of the guide rails.
3. Tighten the screws on the rail connector to secure both rail sections firmly together. Ensure the connection is flush and stable.

5.2 Securing the Guide Rail with Screw Clamps

To prevent the guide rail from shifting during operation:

1. Position the guide rail on your workpiece according to your desired cut line.
2. Slide the screw clamps into the T-slot on the underside of the guide rail.
3. Placer clamps at both ends of the guide rail, or at appropriate intervals for longer rails.
4. Spænd skruen clamps until the guide rail is firmly secured to the workpiece or workbench. Do not overtighten.
