A guide rail for a hand-held power tool comprising:
- a first rail element including a first top face and a first bottom face;
- a second rail element including a second top face and a second bottom face;
- a releasable connecting device configured to join the first and second rail elements together, the releasable connecting device including a joint device so that the first and second rail elements are pivotable between (i) a folded-together non-functioning position in which the first top face of the first rail element is positioned over the second top face of the second rail element, and (ii) a functioning position in which the first top face of the first rail element and the second top face of the second rail element lie in a common plane;
- and
- a latching device movable with respect to the first and second rail elements between a first latching position and a second latching position,
- wherein, when the latching device is located in the first latching position, the first rail element is fixed in relation to the second rail element, and
- wherein, when the latching device is located in the second latching position, the first and second rail elements are movable between the folded-together non-functioning position and the functioning position.
