Micro-adjuster for OF1010 guide rail

[gasman]

I may be being a little thick here, and if so I apologise ... but I have the OF1010 and the guide rail adaptor FS-OF. I also have the Fine adjuster for parallel side fence FE-OF 1000/KF. What I would really like to be able to do is use the micro-adjuster with the guide rail adaptor but it does not seem intuitive to do this. Anyone know how?
Thanks

  I have the same set up.  Mount the rail guide just like normal.  On the rod furthest rod from the handle slide the micro-adjuster with the green adjustment knob facing out.  There are two holes in this device.  The hole on the body of the adjuster is threaded and locks the device to the rod when thumb screw is tightened.  The hole that is located on the tab connects this entire assembly to the router base with a thumb screw.
    When the micro-adjuster is attached and you are going adjust the router to the rail edge, loosen the two thumb screws that are not in contact with the adjuster.  Dial in or out and reset the two thumb screws.  "Bobs you uncle" away you go.  Don't cut your thumb off. 
    Hope that helps.  C hughes

If a visual will help, the video of the OF1400 shows the guide rail edge guide here. This article is in the Festool Knowledge base.

There is separate micro adjusters for the parallel guide and rail guide and I don't think that they are cross compatible.

Thanks for your replies - I will try the suggestion. I do not think there is a separate micro-adjuster for the guide rail adaptor on the UK Festool website

It is there, and is listed on the second page of accessories for the OF1010.

Order Number is 488754, and short descriptive name and designation is "Fine adjuster for guide stop. FE-FS/OF 1000".

You may want to look at the photo of it attached to the router in Brice Burell's review of the router.
