Service And Maintenance - Festool DF 700 EQ Instruction Manual

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
Any maintenance or repair work that requires
opening of the motor or gear housing should only
be carried out by an authorised Customer Service
Centre (name supplied by your dealer)!
Maintenance or repair work carried out by an
unauthorised person can lead to the wrong con-
nection of the power leads or other components,
which in turn can lead to accidents with serious
consequences.
WARNING
To prevent accidents, always remove the plug
from the power supply socket before carrying out
any maintenance or repair work on the tool!
Do not use compressed air to clean the electrical
tool! Do not try to clean parts inside the tool in
this way, as you could let foreign objects in
through the openings of the tool housing.
CAUTION
Certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful
to plastic parts.
Some of these include, but are not limited to:
Gasoline, Acetone, Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK),
Carbonyl Chloride, cleaning solutions containing
Chlorine, Ammonia, and household cleaners
containing Ammonia.
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.
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.
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 join-
er, keep the machine clean.
To ensure constant air circulation, always keep
the cooling air openings in the housing clean
and free of blockages.
Always use the Power Tool with a dust collection
system.
Periodically inspect the tool for damage, wear,
or dullness. Re-sharpen or replace the tool as
necessary.
Never attempt to sharpen the tools yourself.
The tools should be sharpened only by a quali-
fied sharpening service.
For best results, only the tip of the bit should be
ground, not the sides.
The maximum tip material removal from sharp-
ening before the bit must be replaced is approx-
imately 1mm. Any more than this and the bit will
be too short for proper fit of the tenons.
Cleaning and maintenance
Blow off the exterior of the machine with low-
pressure compressed air to remove dust, but do
not blow air directly into the air cooling vents on
