14 Fault
correction
(The following images B1 to B6 are on a separate enclosed sheet).
Fault
Cause
Adjustment
B1
burns
blunt jointer bit
use sharp jointer bit
B2
expansion of dowel
hole
jointing depth excessive (gre-
ater than 20 mm) with 5 mm
jointing bit
reduce jointing depth
B3
dowel penetrates work-
piece
incorrect workpiece thickness
and/or jointing depth
adapt workpiece thickness and/
or jointing depth
B4
Tears at edge of dowel
hole
excessive feed rate
reduce feed rate
B5
dowel hole not parallel
to workpiece edge
workpiece has shifted during
processing
secure workpiece properly
B6
dowel hole not at right
angles (90°) to work-
piece surface
a) deposits (e.g. chips) below
the base plate
b) angle guide not set exactly
to 90°
c) worked on without angle
bracket
a) remove deposits
b) set angle guide to 90° exact-
ly
c) use angle bracket
The position of the do-
wel holes, which were
created with the left
and right stop pin,
does not exactly match
(different distance to
workpiece edge).
The midpoint between the two
stop pins is not exactly in the
midpoint of the swivel range of
the jointer bit.
Turn the eccentric (9.1) with a
screwdriver (clockwise or an-
ticlockwise) until the position
of the dowel holes matches for
both stop pins.
