Festool GECKO DOSH-Set Dual Suction Pad

At a Glance: 50kg dual suction pad set with guide rail adapter for securely carrying smooth panels or fixing Festool FS/2 and FS/2 KP guide rails where clamps cannot be used.

The Festool GECKO DOSH-Set is a versatile professional handling and guide rail accessory designed for securely gripping smooth, closed-pore surfaces. Combining the GECKO DOSH dual suction pad with the AD-DOSH-FS guide rail adapter, the set can be used either as a powerful carrying aid for panels and glass or as a secure fixing solution for compatible Festool guide rails.

The two suction cups are activated quickly using the clearly visible green clamping levers, creating a dependable hold with a load capacity of up to 50kg. Its torsionally rigid ergonomic handle makes lifting and positioning large panels easier, while special sliding rings on the suction cups allow the GECKO to be positioned accurately and released without unnecessary marking or damage to the surface.

When connected to the supplied guide rail adapter, the GECKO can hold an FS/2 or FS/2 KP guide rail securely in position. This is especially useful in locations where conventional clamps cannot be fitted, such as in the centre of large-format panels or when cutting and routing on tiled floors.

Secure handling and guide rail positioning without conventional clamps

The GECKO DOSH-Set combines lifting assistance and guide rail support in one intelligent Festool system. It is ideal for panel processing, large-format tile work, glass handling and installation applications where accurate positioning, dependable grip and surface protection are essential.

Product Highlights

Two functions in one set: Use the GECKO for carrying smooth panels or connect it to a compatible Festool guide rail.
50kg load capacity: Provides dependable support when lifting suitable smooth, closed-pore materials.
Secure suction: Green clamping levers activate the two suction cups quickly and reliably.
Guide rail fixing without clamps: Holds the rail where conventional fastening clamps cannot be positioned.
Ergonomic handling: The torsionally rigid handle makes carrying and positioning heavy components easier.
Surface-friendly positioning: Special sliding rings allow precise alignment and easier release.
Festool system compatibility: Designed for use with Festool FS/2 and FS/2 KP guide rails.

Extra Information

The set is designed for use with Festool FS/2 and FS/2 KP guide rails.
The GECKO is suitable for smooth, flat and closed-pore surfaces such as glass and certain finished panels.
It is not suitable for porous, heavily textured, dusty, wet or damaged surfaces that cannot maintain a vacuum seal.
The stated maximum load capacity is 50kg under suitable operating conditions.
The guide rail adapter enables the suction pad to be mounted directly to a compatible Festool guide rail.
Always test the suction hold before lifting a component or starting a cutting operation.
Surface cleanliness and condition directly affect suction performance.

Pro Tips

Clean both the suction cups and workpiece surface before use to achieve the strongest possible hold.
Test the GECKO on an inconspicuous area when working with delicate or high-gloss finishes.
Press the suction cups firmly and evenly against the surface before closing the green clamping levers.
When fixing a guide rail, use more than one GECKO system where additional stability is required for a long rail or demanding cut.
Check that the rail is aligned correctly before activating the suction cups, as repositioning is easier before full clamping.
Do not rely on the suction pad alone when lifting materials in hazardous positions or above people.
Store the suction cups clean and protected from sharp objects to preserve their sealing surfaces.

How to Use

Inspect the suction cups, handle, clamping levers and adapter for wear or damage.
Clean and dry the contact surface and the suction cups thoroughly.
Position the GECKO on a smooth, flat and closed-pore section of the workpiece.
Press the suction cups firmly against the surface.
Operate both green clamping levers to create the suction hold.
Test the grip carefully before lifting the workpiece or applying force.
For guide rail use, secure the AD-DOSH-FS adapter to the compatible guide rail.
Connect the GECKO to the adapter and align the guide rail with the required cutting or routing line.
Activate both suction cups and confirm that the rail cannot move.
Complete the cutting or routing operation according to the tool and guide rail instructions.
After use, support the workpiece or rail before releasing the suction.
Open the clamping levers and use the sliding rings to release and reposition the suction cups carefully.

Features

Dual suction-cup design: Creates a stable grip across two contact points on suitable smooth surfaces.
50kg rated load capacity: Supports demanding panel-handling and installation applications.
Torsionally rigid handle: Provides secure control when lifting or repositioning larger workpieces.
Green clamping levers: Allow fast visual confirmation that the suction cups have been activated.
Special sliding rings: Assist accurate positioning while helping preserve the workpiece surface.
Guide rail adapter included: Connects the GECKO directly to compatible Festool guide rails.
Clamp-free rail positioning: Useful on large panels, tiled surfaces and locations with inaccessible edges.
Reusable system: Can be repositioned repeatedly on clean, suitable closed-pore surfaces.

Benefits

Easier material handling: Improves grip and control when lifting smooth panels, glass and other suitable components.
Greater cutting flexibility: Allows a guide rail to be secured in areas where edge clamps cannot reach.
Improved accuracy: Helps retain the guide rail position during panel, tile and recess-cutting applications.
Reduced surface damage: Sliding rings support precise placement and controlled release.
Faster setup: Suction levers provide quick attachment without drilling or temporary mechanical fasteners.
Safer handling: The rigid handle provides a secure gripping point for suitable heavy or awkward materials.
Expanded guide rail capability: Extends the practical use of FS/2 and FS/2 KP rails on large-format workpieces.

Application

Carrying smooth panels and glass panels.
Positioning large-format sheet materials.
Securing Festool guide rails on large panels.
Producing accurate panel cuts.
Creating recesses in large-format panels.
Cutting large-format tiles.
Tile repair and renovation work.
Fixing guide rails on tiled floors.
Applications where conventional guide rail clamps cannot be used.

Safety

Inspect the suction cups, handle, levers and guide rail adapter before every use.
Do not use the product if any component is cracked, cut, loose, deformed or otherwise damaged.
Only use the suction pad on clean, dry, smooth and closed-pore surfaces.
Always test the suction hold before lifting a workpiece or operating a machine on the guide rail.
Do not exceed the specified 50kg maximum load capacity.
Do not lift loads above people or use the suction pad as personal safety or climbing equipment.
Use additional support when handling large, fragile or awkwardly balanced components.
Ensure the guide rail adapter is securely attached before starting a cutting or routing operation.
Wear appropriate eye, ear, hand and dust protection when cutting or routing materials.
Support the workpiece or guide rail before releasing the suction levers.
Do not use the suction pad on porous, heavily textured, wet, oily or contaminated surfaces.
Follow all operating and safety instructions for the connected guide rail and power tool.
