Troubleshooting
Inconsistent spacing between holes
Ensure the repeat spacing mechanism is securely locked in place and that the workpiece is firmly against the cross stop. Check for any debris that might be obstructing the mechanism.
Cross stop not holding position
Verify that the mounting mechanism to the domino machine is fully engaged and tightened. Check the adjustment screws for wear or damage.
Difficulty adjusting edge clearance
Clean the adjustment tracks and guides. Ensure no dust or chips are preventing smooth movement. Apply a small amount of lubricant if necessary and recommended by the manufacturer.
