Prior to processing the final workpiece, it is advis-
able to optimise the dowel-hole depth, width and
diameter using a sample workpiece.
Please observe the following rules when
working:
- Always secure the workpiece in such a manner
that it cannot move while being sawed.
- Always hold the Domino dowel jointer with both
hands at the motor housing and at the additional
handle. This reduces the risk of injury and is a
prerequisite for precise work.
- Close the clamping lever for jointing height
adjustment [2‑3] and the clamping lever for
the angle guide [1‑5] so that accidental release
during operation is impossible.
- Adapt the feed rate to the jointer bit diameter
and material. Work with a constant feed rate.
- Only lay the Domino dowel jointer aside when
the jointer bit has come to a complete standstill.
- Use the machine only with the guide frame
mounted.
Procedure
Proceed as follows to create a dowelled joint:
- Select a Domino dowel and insert a match-
ing jointing bit in the Domino dowel jointer
(Chap. 7.1).
- Set the jointing depth (Chap. 7.2). The jointing
depth must be at least 3 mm smaller than the
workpiece thickness so that the dowelled joint
is supportable.
- Set the jointing height to correspond to the
workpiece thickness (Chap. 7.3).
- Mark the areas on the workpiece that belong
together [10‑1] so that you will be able to join
them correctly again once you have cut the
dowel holes.
- Position the two workpieces to be joined against
one another and mark the desired positions of
the dowels with a pencil [10‑2].
- Set the desired dowel-hole width (Chap. 7.5).
Our recommendation: Cut the first hole without
play (dowel-hole width = Domino dowel width),
and the remaining dowel holes to the next larg-
est dowel-hole width (Fig. 10). The first dowel
hole therefore serves as a reference dimension,
whereas the remaining dowel holes have toler-
ance for manufacturing inaccuracies.
- Cut the dowel holes:
a) the first dowel hole by placing the stop latch
at the side edge of the workpiece,
b) the following dowel holes according to the
pencil markings made beforehand and the
scale of the viewing window [10‑3].
9 Maintenance and care
Always remove the power supply plug
from the socket before carrying out any
work on the machine.
All maintenance and repair work which
requires the motor casing to be opened
may only be carried out by an authorised
service centre.

The Domino dowel jointer is to a large extent
maintenance-free. However, we recommend an
annual inspection and/or a check after approx.
100 operating hours at an authorised customer
service workshop. This is for the safety of the user
and the value stability of the Domino dowel jointer.
Always keep the machine and the ventilation slots
clean.
Dust deposits must be removed from the
guides [4‑3]. Oil the guides regularly and lightly
with resin-free oil (e.g. sewing machine oil).
To secure the clamp lever (see Fig. 6b):
- Remove the clamp lever and tighten the hexagon
screw.
- Attach the clamp lever to the hexagon screw
again.
The tool is fitted with special motor brushes with
an automatic cut-out. When the brushes become
worn the power supply is shut off automatically
and the tool comes to a standstill.
10 Accessories, tools
For your own safety, use only original
Festool accessories and spare parts.
Festool offers extensive accessories that enable
you to use your machine effectively for a wide
variety of applications, e.g.: routing circle, guide
rails with rows of holes, routing aid, router base
for bench-mounted use.
The accessory and tool order number can be found
in the Festool catalogue or on the Internet under
„www.festool.com“.
