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. Ma-
chine 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 hu-
midity), regardless of how they are stored.
All of these factors influence the dimensional
accuracy of manufactured dowel holes and
dowelling joints.
L We recommend routing and joining a
test workpiece before machining the actu-
al 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
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 uninten-
tional 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 ex-
tractor.
For work that generates dust, wear a
dust mask.
Procedure
Proceed as follows to create a DOMINO dow-
elling joint:
1. Select a DOMINO dowel and insert
the suitable bit into the DOMINO
joining machine.
2. Set the routing depth.
3. Set the routing height.
4. Adjust the routing angle if neces-
sary.
[1-3] when performing
See chapter
5. Mark the areas on the workpieces
that belong together [8-1]so that
you will be able to join them cor-
rectly again once you have cut the
dowel holes.
6. Position the two workpieces to be
A joined against one another and
mark the desired positions of the
DOMINO dowels with a pencil
2].
6. Select the required stop pins.

7. Set the desired dowel hole width
(adequate fit or with 3 mm play).
8. Cutting the dowel holes [8]:
– The first dowel hole by attaching
the stop pin to the side edge of
the workpiece.
– The following dowel holes ac-
cording to the previously made
pencil markings and the scale of
the vision panel [8-3].
Our recommendation: Please
check each dowel hole for chip-
pings and clear these if necessary.
Always work with a dust extractor
to improve the removal of chip-
pings.
Route the first hole for each work-
piece without play (dowel hole
width = DOMINO dowel width) and
the other dowel holes with the
large dowel hole width.

Service and maintenance

Risk of injury, electric shock
X Always disconnect the mains plug from the
socket before performing maintenance
work on the machine!
X All maintenance and repair work which re-

quires the motor housing to be opened
must only be carried out by an authorised
service workshop.

7.4
The machine is equipped with special carbon
brushes. If they are worn, the power is inter-

rupted automatically and the machine comes
to a standstill.
