Routine Maintenance
The Domino tenon joiner does not require much routine maintenance except for cleaning. For best performance and long life of the Domino tenon joiner, keep the machine clean.
►► To ensure proper cooling of the tool and motor, the cooling vents in the motor housing must always be kept clear and clean.
►► Keep the linear rails, guide tubes, and linear bearings clean and free from sawdust.

►► Never attempt to sharpen the mortising bits yourself. The mortising bits should be sharpened only by a qualified sharpening service.
