If the plunging action of your Festool Power Tool isn't smooth, clean and lubricate the linear rails and bronze bearings of the plunge slide. Inspect the linear bearings for any damage. Also, ensure the fence body is properly inserted onto the motor housing, as improper insertion can damage the linear bearings.
What to do if workpiece joints are misaligned horizontally with Festool Domino DF 500 Power Tool?
If your workpiece joints are misaligned horizontally when using the Festool Power Tool, consider the following: * Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped before plunging. * Check the stop latches. * Check the calibration of the Horizontal Position Gauge (sight gauge). * Avoid plunging the mortising bit too fast. * Make sure the friction pads on the front of the joiner are not worn, damaged, or missing.
What to do if workpiece joints are misaligned vertically with Festool Domino DF 500?
If you're experiencing vertical misalignment in your workpiece joints with the Festool Power Tool, check these aspects: * Avoid tilting the joiner during plunging. * If registering mortise slots from the baseplate bottom, ensure no dust or debris is underneath. * Confirm the fence is properly locked at the desired height. * Inspect the height adjustment lock for any damage or slipping.
Why Festool Domino DF 500 domino tenons are too tight?
If the Domino tenons are too tight when using your Festool Power Tool, it could be due to a couple of reasons: * The most common cause is that the tenons have absorbed moisture and swelled. Store the tenons in a cool, dry environment to prevent this. * The mortising bit may have been improperly sharpened or sharpened too many times. If this is the case, replace the bit.

Improper insertion of the fence body onto the motor housing can damage the linear bearings.
Why am I getting tearout or rough mortise slots with my Festool Domino DF 500?
If you're experiencing tearout or rough mortise slots with your Festool Power Tool, it could be due to plunging too fast; try slowing down. Low-grade materials and plywoods are also more prone to tearout than solid woods. A dull or broken mortising bit can also be the cause.
Why are the Domino tenons too tight when using my Festool Domino DF 500?
If your Festool Power Tool's domino tenons are too tight, it's likely due to the tenons absorbing moisture from a humid environment. To resolve this, store the tenons in a cool, dry place. Also, the mortising bit may have been improperly sharpened or sharpened too many times, consider replacing the bit.
What to do if workpiece joints are misaligned horizontally with my Festool Domino DF 500 Power Tool?
If the workpiece joints are misaligned horizontally when using your Festool Power Tool, make sure the workpiece is securely clamped before plunging. Check the calibration of the locating pins and the horizontal position gauge. Avoid plunging the mortising bit into the work too fast. Also, ensure the friction pads on the front of the joiner are not worn, damaged, or missing.

What to do if Domino tenons are too loose with Festool Power Tool?
If the Domino tenons are too loose when using your Festool Power Tool, ensure you're holding the Domino joiner firmly while plunging the mortise slot. Also, verify that the mortise width setting is correct and that you're using the appropriate mortising bit for the Domino tenon size. The Domino tenons may have shrunk in an overly dry or warm environment, which is normal wood movement. Finally, check the mortising bit to make sure it is not bent, as this can create a wider mortise slot.
