depth to 20 mm using the stop lever (1.7). The ac-
tual routing depth is 10 mm. The dowel can only be
positioned centrally (see Fig. above).

Changing the Mortising Bit

Different mortising bits are available for a variety
of Domino tenon sizes. The DF500 comes equipped
with a 5mm bit, and 6, 8, and 10 mm bits are avail-
able as an option.
Always unplug the tool before chang-
ing mortising bits, or removing the fence body from
the motor housing.
– Using the provided 8 mm wrench, pry up on
the fence body release lever [9.1], and slide the
fence body off the motor housing (see fi g. 2 on
the fold-out page).

A special cutter is avail-

– Loosen the mortising bit [10.2] by turning it coun-
terclockwise (standard right-hand thread).
– Insert a new mortising bit, and start the threads
by hand to avoid cross-threading.
– Press in on the spindle lock [10.1] while tight-
ening the bit. Do not over tighten the bit.
– Carefully reinstall the fence body onto the mo-
tor housing, and push the fence body in until the
latch clicks.
Notes:
 Make sure there is no dust inside the guide tubes
before inserting the fence body.
 Be careful not to damage the linear bearings
(hollow tubes) when reinstalling the fence body.
If it does not slide on easy, it means the fence is
skewed with respect to the bearings.

Operation

Please observe the following rules
when working:
 The mains voltage must correspond to the speci-
fi cation on the rating plate.
 Always secure the workpiece in such a manner
that it cannot move while being sawed.
 Always hold the Domino dowel jointer with both
hands at the motor housing and at the additional
handle. This reduces the risk of injury and is a
prerequisite for precise work.
 Close the clamping lever for jointing height
adjustment [2.3] and the clamping lever for the
angle guide [1.5] so that accidental release dur-
ing operation is impossible.
 Adapt the feed rate to the jointer bit diameter and
material. Work with a constant feed rate.
 Only lay the Domino dowel jointer aside when the
jointer bit has come to a complete standstill.
