XClose 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:
Tight fitting dowel 13.5 mm + cutter diameter
Dowel with
lateral play
16.5 mm + cutter diameter
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 using the but-
ton [1-13]. These serve as spacers to the cutter
centre and can be inserted at different locations
- see image [6]
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.
7.8 Dust extraction
WARNING
Dust hazard
XDust can be hazardous to health. Always work
with a dust extractor.
XAlways read applicable national regulations
before extracting hazardous dust.
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
guidance of the machine.
XSecure the contact surface widening device
using the two screws [7-2] on the threaded
holes [7-3] of the guide frame.
The contact surfaces of the contact surface
widening 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
deviate 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 factors influence the dimensional accuracy
of manufactured dowel holes and dowelling joints.
We recommend routing and joining a test
workpiece before machining the actual
workpiece.
Please observe all mentioned safety in-
formations and the following rules when
working:
– 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
reduces the risk of injury and is a prerequisite
for precise work.
– Close the clamp lever for routing height
adjustment [1-14] and the clamp lever for
angle adjustment [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
dustmask.
Procedure
Proceed as follows to create a DOMINO dowelling
joint:
See chapter
1. Select a DOMINO dowel and insert
the suitable bit into the DOMINO
joining machine.

2. Set the routing depth. 7.3
3. Set the routing height. 7.4
4. Adjust the routing angle if
necessary
