Set the desired routing height
h
using the scale
[5-3]
by moving the front section of the guide
frame vertically.
Close the clamp lever
[5-1]
.
7.5 Setting the Fence Angle
Loosen the clamp lever for the angle adjust-
ment
[5-4]
.
Set the desired angle:
using the scale
[5-5]
variable from 0° to 90°.
locking at 0°; 22.5°; 45°; 67.5°; 90°.
Close the clamp lever
[5-4]
.
Set the routing height and depth as low as
possible when mitre routing as otherwise
there is a risk that the cutter will come out
the other side.
7.6 Setting the Mortise Width
Use the adjusting lever
[1-6]
to adjust the width of
the dowel hole you intend to cut for an adequate fit
or set with 3 mm play:
You can see on the display
[1-5]
what dowel hole
width is selected.
7.7 Setting stop pins
Six stop pins
[1-2]
are available on the stop side of
the DOMINO joining machine.
Stop pins that are not required can be individually
engaged by exerting overpressure and released us-
ing the button
[1-13]
.
These serve as spacers to the cutter centre and can
be inserted at different locations - see image

7.8 Dust extraction
At the extractor connector
[1-15]
, a Festool mobile
dust extractor with an extraction hose diameter of
27 mm can be connected.
7.9 Widening the contact surface
The contact surface widening device
[7-1]
can be
used to enlarge the contact surface when routing
on the workpiece edge, thus allowing safer guid-
ance of the machine.
Secure the contact surface widening device us-
ing the two screws
[7-2]
on the threaded holes
[7-3]
of the guide frame.
The contact surfaces of the contact surface wid-
ening device
[7-5]
and the table
[7-4]
must be
level.
8 Working with the machine
Wood is a natural, non-homogenous material and
because of this, its dimensions will most likely de-
viate slightly during processing, even if the machine
is set accurately. Machine handling also influence
the degree of working accuracy (e.g. fast-feed
speed). Furthermore, the dimensions of wooden
DOMINOs may vary (for example, due to humidity),
regardless of how they are stored. All of these fac-
tors influence the dimensional accuracy of manu-
factured dowel holes and dowelling joints.
We recommend
routing and joining a test work-
piece before machining the actual workpiece.
Please observe all mentioned safety infor-
mations and the following rules when work-
ing:
– Always secure the workpiece in such a manner
that it cannot move while being processed.
– Always hold the machine with two hands on the
handles
[1-3]
when performing work. This re-
duces the risk of injury and is a prerequisite for
precise work.
– Close the clamp lever for routing height adjust-
ment
[1-14]
and the clamp lever for angle adjust-
ment
[1-12]
to avoid unintentional loosening
during operation.
– Adapt the feed rate to the cutter diameter and
material. Work with a constant feed rate
– Only lay the machine aside when the cutter has
come to a complete standstill.
– Always connect the machine to a dust extractor.
For work that generates dust, wear a dust
mask.
Procedure
Proceed as follows to create a DOMINO dowelling
joint:
Tight fitting dowel 13.5 mm + cutter diameter
Dowel with lateral
play
16.5 mm + cutter diameter
A Three possible spacings to a supply side (1 -
2 - 3)
B Two dowel holes beside each other from a
supply side (1 - 3)
C Two dowel holes by changing the workpiece,
e.g. for cross-section cut.
WARNING
Dust hazard
Dust can be hazardous to health. Always work
with a dust extractor.
Always read applicable national regulations be-
fore extracting hazardous dust.
