Setting Up a New Domino Joiner

Congratulations on your purchase of a new Festool Domino

Tenon Joiner. The Domino joiner is the finest portable

loose tenon joiner in the world. Before using your new

Domino joiner, make sure you fully read and understand

all of the precautions and safety information presented in

this manual.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury from

contact with a moving part, always unplug the

joiner before making any inspections or

adjustments, or before installing or removing any

accessory!

1. With the joiner unplugged, inspect the mortising bit.

Make sure it is not bent, chipped, or otherwise

damaged, and make sure the bit is fully tightened on

the spindle. (Refer to "

Changing the Mortising Bit" on

page 9 for more information).

CAUTION! Check regularly whether the

mortising bit is in good condition. Mortising bits

that are bent or damaged can break, and should

no longer be used.

2. Peel off the protective film from the bottom of the

joiner baseplate.

3. Set up the joiner for the appropriate type of operation

as described throughout the remainder of this section.

4. Make sure that the fence height and angle locking

levers are properly tightened.

5. Install the power cord into the Plug-It receptacle on the

joiner (refer to page 10 for more information).

6. Before you use the joiner, make sure to read the

Overview, General Notes, and Tips section on page 10.

Setting the Fence Angle

Some joints require the fence to be set to an angle from

the mortising bit. The most common application is for

making a mitered joint (see page 15).

1. Unplug the joiner for safety.

2. Loosen the fence angle locking lever by rotating it

counterclockwise about ¼-turn.

3. Rotate the fence face to the desired angle, and tighten

the locking lever.

Notes:

► The fence has detent stops at 22½, 45, 67½, and 90

degrees.

► Use the gauge pointer for setting the fence to angles

other than the ones listed above.

► For greater stability, the locking lever clamps down on

both right and left sides of the fence.

The table below provides some common miter angles for

easy reference.
