9 Service and maintenance
The machine is equipped with special carbon
brushes. If they are worn, the power is interrupted
automatically and the machine comes to a stand-
still.
Observe the following instructions:
 To ensure constant air circulation, always keep
the cooling air openings in the housing clean
and free of blockages.
 Clean the guides [3-1] and [3-6] of dust depos-
its.
 Oil the guides regularly and lightly with resin-
free oil (e.g. sewing machine oil).
 We recommend an annual inspection and/or a
check after approx. 100 operating hours at an
authorised customer service workshop. This is
for the safety of the user and the value stability
of the power tool.
10 Troubleshooting
See chapter
1. Select a DOMINO dowel and insert the
suitable bit into the DOMINO joining
machine.
7.2
2. Set the routing depth. 7.3
3. Set the routing height. 7.4
4. Adjust the routing angle if necessary. 7.5
5. Mark the areas on the workpieces that
belong together [8-1]so that you will be
able to join them correctly again once
you have cut the dowel holes.
6. APosition the two workpieces to be joined
against one another and mark the
desired positions of the DOMINO dowels
with a pencil [8-2].
6.
B Select the required stop pins. 7.7
7. Set the desired dowel hole width (ade-
quate fit or with 3 mm play).
7.6
8. Cutting the dowel holes [8]:
– The first dowel hole by attaching the
stop pin to the side edge of the work-
piece.
– The following dowel holes according
to the previously made pencil mark-
ings and the scale of the vision panel
[8-3].
Our recommendation: Please check
each dowel hole for chippings and clear
these if necessary.
Always work with a dust extractor to
improve the removal of chippings.
Route the first hole for each workpiece
without play (dowel hole width = DOM-
INO dowel width) and the other dowel
holes with the large dowel hole width.
WARNING
Risk of injury, electric shock
 Always disconnect the mains plug from the
socket before performing maintenance work on
the machine!
 All maintenance and repair work which requires
the motor housing to be opened must only be
carried out by an authorised service workshop.

dowel hole)
a. Use sharp cutter
b. Remove deposit and work with
dust extractor
Widening of the dowel hole with
8 mm cutter Routing depth too large (larger
than 50 mm) Reduce routing depth (max.50 mm)
Splinters at edge of dowel hole Excessive feed rate Reduce feed rate
Dowel hole not parallel to work-
piece edge Workpiece has shifted during
processing Secure workpiece properly
