8 Domino XL DF700
Setting the Fence Height
The height of the fence needs to be adjusted depending on
the type of joint being made and the thickness of the mate-
rial being joined. Refer to the ”Applications” section begin-
ning on page 13 for more information about the optimal
fence height for the specic application. There are two
features available for setting the fence height; the height
gauge and the height stop.
Note: It is not necessary to set the mortise height to
be exactly in the center of a board. Attempting to do
so can be difcult, and may actually lead to assembly
errors. It is more important to always ensure that the
same surface is referenced for each workpiece.
Height Stop
The height stop provides quick access to repeatable height
settings. This can be especially benecial in applications
where you need to continually change the fence height from
one mortise to another, such as an offset joint with a reveal
between the pieces.
Height Gauge
The height gauge shows the distance between the bottom
of the fence face and the centerline of the mortising bit. Use
this gauge to set the mortise height relative to the surface
of the workpiece.
Note: Make sure to retract the Height Stop to its
lowest setting when using the Height Gauge.
Setting the height
1. Loosen the fence height locking lever by turning it ¼-turn
counterclockwise.
2. To use the Height Stop:
a. Raise the fence above the desired setting.
b. Slide the stop in or out until the desired setting (in
mm) is shown in the window.
c. Lower the fence down until it touches the stop.
d. Tighten the locking lever.
3. To use the height gauge:
a. Make sure the Height Stop is retracted out of the way.
b. Raise or lower the fence until the pointer is pointing to
the desired height on the gauge.
c. Tighten the locking lever.

Setting the Mortise Width
The width of the mortise slot can be increased to permit
some side-to-side exibility in the tenon position. The mor-
tise width lever has two positions. In the standard position,
the Domino tenon will t snugly into the mortise slot. In the
wide position, the mortise slot will be 3 mm wider than the
Domino tenon.
NOTICE: Never rotate the dial during a plunging
operation. This can bend or break the mortising bit,
and can also damage the machine.
