Procedure
Proceed as follows to create a dowelled joint:
- Select a Domino dowel and insert a matching
jointing bit in the Domino dowel jointer (Chap.
7.1).
- Set the jointing depth (Chap. 7.2). The jointing
depth must be at least 3 mm smaller than the
workpiece thickness so that the dowelled joint
is supportable.
- Set the jointing height to correspond to the
workpiece thickness (Chap. 7.3).
- Mark the areas on the workpiece that belong
together [10-1] so that you will be able to join
them correctly again once you have cut the
dowel holes.
- Position the two workpieces to be joined against
one another and mark the desired positions of
the dowels with a pencil [10-2].
- Set the desired dowel-hole width (Chap. 7.5).
Our recommendation: Cut the fi rst hole without
play (dowel-hole width = Domino dowel width),
and the remaining dowel holes to the next larg-
est dowel-hole width (Fig. 10). The fi rst dowel
hole therefore serves as a reference dimension,
whereas the remaining dowel holes have toler-
ance for manufacturing inaccuracies.
- Cut the dowel holes:
a) the fi rst dowel hole by placing the stop latch
at the side edge of the workpiece,
b) the following dowel holes according to the
pencil markings made beforehand and the
scale of the viewing window [10-3].

The Domino dowel jointer is to a large extent
maintenance-free. However, 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 Domino dowel jointer.
Always keep the machine and the ventilation slots
clean.
Dust deposits must be removed from the guides
[4-3]. Oil the guides regularly and lightly with
resin-free oil (e.g. sewing machine oil).
To secure the clamp lever (see Fig. 6b):
- Remove the clamp lever and tighten the hexagon
screw.
- Attach the clamp lever to the hexagon screw
again.
The tool is fi tted with special motor brushes with
an automatic cut-out. When the brushes become
worn the power supply is shut off automatically
and the tool comes to a standstill.
