Festool PN574447 Using Dust Extraction, Using the Stop Pins, Using the Base Support Bracket

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 fit the dust extrac- tion port, a Festool vacuum hose will fit 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 flat surface when installing the bracket to ensure it is flush with the front of the joiner.
