Festool DOMINO XL Guide D'utilisation page 18

CAUTION
Certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful
to plastic parts.
Some of these include, but are not limited to:

Gasoline, Acetone, Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK),
Carbonyl Chloride, cleaning solutions containing
Chlorine, Ammonia, and household cleaners
containing Ammonia.
The machine is equipped with special carbon
brushes. If they are worn, the power is interrupted
automatically and the machine comes to a stand-
still.
 We recommend an annual inspection and/or a
check after approx. 100 operating hours at an
authorised customer service workshop. This is
for the safety of the user and the value stability
of the power tool.
Routine Maintenance
The Domino tenon joiner does not require much
routine maintenance except for cleaning. For best
performance and long life of the Domino tenon join-
er, keep the machine clean.
To ensure constant air circulation, always keep

the cooling air openings in the housing clean
and free of blockages.
Always use the Power Tool with a dust collection

system.
Periodically inspect the tool for damage, wear,

or dullness. Re-sharpen or replace the tool as
necessary.
Never attempt to sharpen the tools yourself.

The tools should be sharpened only by a quali-
fied sharpening service.
For best results, only the tip of the bit should be

ground, not the sides.
The maximum tip material removal from sharp-

ening before the bit must be replaced is approx-
18
imately 1mm. Any more than this and the bit will
be too short for proper fit of the tenons.
Cleaning and maintenance
Blow off the exterior of the machine with low-

pressure compressed air to remove dust, but do
not blow air directly into the air cooling vents on
the back of the motor as this can drive debris
into the motor.
Blow out impacted dust from the tool area.

Do not remove the fence body from the motor

housing when the joiner is coated with dust.
With the exterior of the joiner free from dust, re-

move the fence body from the motor housing
and clean the linear slides:
With a soft cotton cloth, wipe down the linear

rails.
With compressed air, blow out any dust from

inside the linear bores.
With a soft cotton cloth, wipe down the inte-

rior of the bronze linear bearings.
Clean the guides [7-1] and [7-6] of dust depos-

its.
Oil the guides regularly and lightly with resin-

free oil (e.g. sewing machine oil).
Never store the joiner with the fence body sepa-

rated from the motor housing, as this can per-
mit dust and debris to enter the linear slide.
