Using Dust Extraction
The Domino joiner is intended to be used with a dust extrac-
tion 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.
Note: If you have a non-Festool vacuum system
and your vacuum hose does not t the dust extrac-
tion port, a Festool vacuum hose will t many other
brands of vacuums.

Using the Stop Pins
On the front of the fence are 3 pair of stop pins. These are
used to register the tool against the edge of the workpiece
or against a previously machined mortise slot, and provide
rapid and precise placement of the tool on the workpiece.
The distances between the locating pin and the center of
the mortise slot are 20, 37, and 50 mm. The pins are spring
loaded, but can also be locked in the retracted position.

To retract a pin, push in on it until it clicks into place. To
release the pins, press the release button on the side of the
fence. There is a release button for the left and right sets of
pins.
The pins are spring-loaded, so it is not necessary to retract
a pin when not in use. However, retracting unused pins will
prevent them from pushing your workpiece away from the
fence.

Using the Base Support Bracket
The base support bracket stabilizes the joiner when mortis-
ing on the face of a narrow board as shown to the right. The
base support bracket mounts to the underside of the joiner
with two thumbscrews. Stand the joiner upright on a at
surface when installing the bracket to ensure it is ush with
the front of the joiner.
