Festool PI574332 Biscuit Joiner User Manual


 
Turning On the Joiner
WARNING: Never turn the tool on when the Fence
Body is removed, as this exposes the spinning cutter.
Before turning the tool on, make sure all adjustment handles
are locked and the tool is safe to turn on.
The power switch for the Domino joiner locks into the On
position when activated. When working with the tool for the
first time, it is recommended that you become familiar with
the operation of the switch before you plug the tool in to a
power outlet.
To turn the joiner on, push forward and down on the power
switch. To turn the joiner off, press down on the back of the
power switch to release the latch.
Using Dust Extraction
The Domino machine is intended to be used with a dust
extraction system. Using the machine without dust
extraction will cause it to clog with wood chips.
When installing a Festool dust extraction hose onto the
dust port 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.
If you have another vacuum system and the hose
does not fit the dust extraction port, a Fe
stool hose
will fit many other brands of vacuums.
Using the Locating Pins
The locating pins on the front of the fence are used to
register the tool against the edge of the workpiece or against
a previously machined mortise slot. This provides rapid and
precise placement of the tool on the workpiece.
When the locating pin is against the edge of the
workpiece, the edge will be visible in the point of the
verification window on the fence.
The distance between the locating pin and the center of the
mortise slot is 37mm (1-7/16 inch).
The locating pins can also be used to register the next
mortise by inserting the pin into a previous mortise slot.
