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].

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.

packaging at an environmentally-responsible
recycling centre! Observe the valid national regu-
lations.
