– With the joiner standing upright and its
baseplate against the edge of the shelf
[35.1], plunge downward into the side wall
of the cabinet.
– Repeat these steps for each of the
shelves.
– When you repeat this process for the other
side wall, make sure you keep the same
side of the shelf facing up.
Tips for Appyling Glue
There are many different ways to apply glue
to joints, however, how you apply glue can
have an impact on the quality of the joint or
the ease of assembly.
For a longer glue open-time on complex
assemblies, apply the glue generously to
the workpieces. The thicker the glue, the
longer time it will take to skin over. Excess
glue can be cleaned off after completion.
Symptom
Motor does not start
Plunging action is
not smooth
Domino tenons are
too loose

Troubleshooting

Possible causes and corrections
Check that the cord is properly plugged into an outlet.
Make sure the Plug-it connector is properly inserted and fully
tightened.
Make sure the outlet has power. Check the circuit breaker or try
another outlet.
If used with a Festool dust extractor, make sure the selector switch
is pointing to „Auto". The auxiliary outlet on the dust extractor has
power only when the selector is at Auto.
Inspect the power cord (including extension cords) for damage or
missing prongs.
The motor brushes may have worn and need replacement.
Clean the linear rails and bronze bearings of the plunge slide, and
make sure they are properly lubricated.
Inspect the bronze linear bearings for damage. Improper insertion
of the fence body onto the motor housing can damage the linear
bearings.
Make sure you hold the Domino joiner fi rmly in position while
plunging the mortise slot.
Make sure the mortise width setting is correct.
Make sure you are using the correct mortising bit for the size of
the Domino tenon.
The Domino tenons may have shrunk in an overly dry or warm
environment. This is normal wood movement.
Check the mortising bit to ensure it is not bent. A bent bit will make
a thicker and wider mortise slot than desired.
Apply glue to the workpiece face and the
mortise slots before inserting the tenons
into the slots.
When applying glue for the tenons, you
can either apply glue into the mortise slots,
or spread a thin layer across the Domino
tenons. For applications where the tenon
is the primary structure holding the joint
together, you should apply the glue to the
tenon. The Domino tenons have small glue
pockets [36.1] and ridges [36.2] that will
hold glue as the tenon slides into the mor-
tise slot.
