Deflector for guide rail - sold seperatly?

[ForumMFG]

Does anyone know if the deflector that comes with the guide rail kit is sold separate?

Also,  Is this accessory something everyone should have when working with a CT & guide rail?

Any advantages with it on the guide rail and any disadvantages with it not on a guide rail?

The Guide Rail Deflector is sold separately. You get one with the MFT/3 for the Guide Rail that comes with it.

They help keep the hose and cord from snagging on the end of the guide rail.

The PN is 489 022 it shows up on page 32 of the catalog and also on the following web page,
http://www.festoolusa.com/search.html?q=489022. It does come in handy in preventing the hose from catching on the end of the guide rail.
