Plug it Power Cord

The Domino joiner comes equipped with a remov-
able plug it power cord.
To install the power cord, insert the cord into the
inlet on the tool with the key and keyway aligned,
and twist the locking ring [11.1].
Reverse the procedure to remove the cord.

Note:
 Turn the outer locking ring [11.1] ¼-turn to fully
engage or disengage the cord.

Turning on the Joiner

Never turn the tool on when the
Fence Body is removed, as this exposes the spin-
ning cutter.
Before turning the tool on, make
sure all adjustment handles are locked and the tool
is safe to turn on.
To turn the joiner on, push forward and down on
the power switch [12.1]. The power switch locks
into the On position when activated.
To turn the joiner off, press down on the back of the
power switch to release the latch.

Extension Cable

If an extension cable is required, it must have a suf-
fi cient cross-section so as to prevent an excessive
drop in voltage or overheating. An excessive drop in
voltage reduces the output and can lead to failure
of the motor. The table shows you the correct cable
diameter as a function of the cable length for the
DF 500 Q.

Use only U.L. and CSA listed extension cables.
Never use two extension cables together. Instead,
use one long one.
Note:
 The lower the AWG number, the stronger the
cable.
The Domino machine is intended to be used with
a dust extraction system. Using the machine with-
out dust extraction will cause it to clog with wood
chips.
When installing a Festool dust extraction hose onto
the dust port [13.1] of the machine, it is easiest to
insert the hose at an angle and then push it on the
rest of the way as shown to the right.
Note:
 If you have another vacuum system and the hose

does not fi t the dust extraction port, a Festool
hose will fi t many other brands of vacuums.
The stop latches on the front of the fence are used to
register the tool against the edge of the workpiece.
This provides rapid and precise placement of the
tool on the workpiece.
• When the stop latch [14.2] is against the edge of
the workpiece, the edge will be visible in the point
of the verifi cation window [14.1] on the fence.
• The distance between the stop latch and the cen-
ter of the mortise slot is 37mm (1-7/16 inch).
