Controls &

Components

This section covers the basic controls used during
routine operations.

STOP Button: Stops motor when pushed in and dis­ables the START button. Enable the START button by
twisting the STOP button until it springs forward in
the out position.

START Button: Starts motor only if the STOP button
is in the out position (see Figure 3).

The outfeed table is preset with positive stops, so no
range of movement is allowed (if it gets accidentally
unlocked it will not move). To adjust the outfeed
table positive stops refer to Setting Outfeed Table

Height on Page 46.

Fence Movement: The fence has a lock handle that

keeps it in position (see Figure 5). To move the fence,
loosen the lock handle and slide the fence where
needed.

Fence Tilting: The tilt lock (see Figure 5) secures
the fence at any position in the available range. The
plunger locks into an indexing ring to easily set the
fence tilt to 90°. Positive stops stop the fence at 45°
inward and 45° outward, for common 45° bevel cuts.
Even when the fence is resting against the positive
stops, the tilt lock must be tightened before cutting.

STOP Button

For Your Own Safety, Read Instruction Manual

SAFETY

Before Operating This Machine

The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This
manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of importance of the
safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by
themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention measures.
Always use common sense and good judgment.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL
result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD
result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, MAY
result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against
unsafe practices.

NOTICE

This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about proper
operation of the machine.

Safety Instructions for Machinery

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this

owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained operators
have a higher risk of being hurt or killed. Only
allow trained/supervised people to use this machine.
When machine is not being used, disconnect power,
remove switch keys, or lock-out machine to prevent
unauthorized use—especially around children. Make
workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use machin­ery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have poor
lighting. Operating machinery in these areas greatly
increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental alert­ness is required for safe operation of machinery.
Never operate under the influence of drugs or alco­hol, when tired, or when distracted.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You can
be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live electri­cal components or improperly grounded machinery.
To reduce this risk, only allow qualified service per­sonnel to do electrical installation or repair work, and
always disconnect power before accessing or expos­ing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. Always disconnect
machine from power supply BEFORE making adjust­ments, changing tooling, or servicing machine. This
prevents an injury risk from unintended startup or
contact with live electrical components.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved safe­ty glasses or a face shield when operating or observ­ing machinery to reduce the risk of eye injury or
blindness from flying particles. Everyday eyeglasses
are NOT approved safety glasses.

ST1006/ST1011 8" Jointer (Mfd. Since 3/16)

-9-

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear cloth­ing, apparel or jewelry that can become entangled
in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair.
Wear non-slip footwear to reduce risk of slipping and
losing control or accidentally contacting cutting tool
or moving parts.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery
operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or long­term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards
associated with each workpiece material. Always
wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your
risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hearing pro­tection when operating or observing loud machin­ery. Extended exposure to this noise without hearing
protection can cause permanent hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on machin­ery can become dangerous projectiles upon startup.
Never leave chuck keys, wrenches, or any other tools
on machine. Always verify removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use this
tool for its intended purpose—do not force it or an
attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
Never make unapproved modifications—modifying
tool or using it differently than intended may result
in malfunction or mechanical failure that can lead to
personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times when operating machine. Do
not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that
make workpiece control difficult or increase the risk
of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.Stop
using machine if they become a distraction.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce acci­dental contact with moving parts or flying debris.
Make sure they are properly installed, undamaged,
and working correctly BEFORE operating machine.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It will
do the job safer and better at the rate for which it was
designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury may
occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement during
operation greatly increases risk of injury or loss of
control. Before starting, verify machine is stable and
mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this
owner’s manual or the manufacturer for recom­mended accessories. Using improper accessories will
increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk of
accidental injury, turn machine OFF and ensure all
moving parts completely stop before walking away.
Never leave machine running while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to keep
machine in good working condition. A machine that
is improperly maintained could malfunction, leading
to serious personal injury or death.

DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine for
damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or any con­dition that could affect safe operation. Immediately
repair/replace BEFORE operating machine. For your
own safety, DO NOT operate machine with damaged
parts!

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnecting
cord-connected machines from power, grab and pull
the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord may dam­age the wires inside. Do not handle cord/plug with
wet hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away
from heated surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh chemi­cals, and wet/damp locations.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you
experience difficulties performing the intended
operation, stop using the machine! Contact our
Technical Support at [phone].

ST1006/ST1011 8" Jointer (Mfd. Since 3/16)

Additional Safety for Jointers

Serious cuts, amputation, entanglement, or death can occur from contact with rotating cutterhead
or other moving components! Flying chips can cause blindness or eye injuries. Workpieces or inserts/
knives thrown by cutterhead can strike nearby operator or bystanders with deadly force. To reduce
the risk of these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings

KICKBACK. Occurs when workpiece is ejected from

machine at a high rate of speed. To reduce the risk
of kickback-related injuries, use quality workpieces,
safe feeding techniques, and proper machine setup
or maintenance.

GUARD REMOVAL. Operating jointer without guard
exposes operator to knives/inserts. Except when rab­beting, never remove guards for regular operations
or while connected to power. Turn jointer OFF and
disconnect power before clearing any shavings or
sawdust from around cutterhead. After rabbeting
or maintenance is complete, immediately replace all
guards and ensure they are properly adjusted before
resuming regular operations.

DULL/DAMAGED KNIVES/INSERTS. Dull knives/
inserts can increase risk of kickback and cause poor
workpiece finish. Only use sharp, undamaged knives/
inserts.

OUTFEED TABLE ALIGNMENT. Setting outfeed
table too high can cause workpiece to hit table and
get stuck, increasing risk of kickback. Setting out­feed table too low may cause workpiece to become
tapered from front to back. Always keep outfeed
table even with knives/inserts at top dead center
(highest point during rotation).

INSPECTING STOCK. Impact injuries or fire may
result from using poor workpieces. Thoroughly
inspect and prepare workpiece before cutting. Verify
workpiece is free of nails, staples, loose knots or other
foreign material. Workpieces with minor warping
should be surface planed first with cupped side fac­ing infeed table.

GRAIN DIRECTION. Jointing against the grain or end
grain can increase the risk of kickback. It also requires
more cutting force, which produces chatter or exces­sive chip out. Always joint or surface plane WITH the
grain.

MAXIMUM CUTTING DEPTH. To reduce risk of kick-

1

back, never cut deeper than

⁄8 " per pass.

CUTTING LIMITATIONS. Cutting a workpiece that
does not meet the minimum dimension require­ments can result in breakup, kickback, or accidental
contact with cutterhead during operation. Never
perform jointing, planing, or rabbeting cuts on pieces

3

smaller than 8" long,

⁄4" wide, or 1⁄4" thick.

PUSH BLOCKS. Not using push blocks when surface
planing may result in accidental cutterhead contact.
Always use push blocks when planing materials less
than 3" high or wide. Never pass your hands directly
over cutterhead without a push block.

WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Loss of workpiece control
while feeding can increase risk of kickback or acci­dental contact with cutterhead. Support workpiece
continuously during operation. Position and guide
workpiece with fence. Support long or wide stock
with auxiliary stands.

FEED WORKPIECE PROPERLY. Kickback or acciden­tal cutterhead contact may result if workpiece is fed
into cutterhead the wrong way. Allow cutterhead to
reach full speed before feeding. Never start jointer
with workpiece touching cutterhead. Always feed
workpiece from infeed side to outfeed side without
stopping until cut is complete. Never back work
toward infeed table.

SECURE KNIVES/INSERTS. Loose knives or improp­erly set inserts can become dangerous projectiles or
cause machine damage. Always verify knives/inserts
are secure and properly adjusted before operation.

1

Straight knives should never project more than

⁄8 "

(0 .125") from cutterhead body.

ELECTRICAL

Circuit Requirements

Serious personal injury could occur if you con­nect the machine to the power source before
you have completed the set up process. DO
NOT connect the machine to the power source
until instructed to do so.

This machine must be connected to the correct size
and type of power supply circuit, or fire or electrical
damage may occur. Read through this section to
determine if an adequate power supply circuit is
available. If a correct circuit is not available, an electri­cian or qualified service personnel MUST install one
before you can connect the machine to power.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical equip­ment between the breaker box or fuse panel in the
building and the machine. The power supply circuit
used for this machine must be sized to safely handle
the full-load current drawn from the machine for an
extended period of time. (If this machine is connect­ed to a circuit protected by fuses, use a time delay
fuse marked D.)

Incorrectly wiring or
grounding this machine can
cause electrocution, fire, or
machine damage. To reduce
this risk, only an electrician
or qualified service person­nel should do any required
electrical work on this
machine.

Full-Load Current Rating

The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the amper­age drawn by the largest motor or sum of all motors
and electrical devices that might operate at one time
during normal operations.

ST1006/ST1011

Full-Load Current Rating.......................... 15 Amps

This machine is prewired to operate on a power sup­ply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the
following requirements:

ST1006/ST1011 Circuit Requirements

Nominal Voltage .............................................240V

Cycle ............................................................... 60 Hz

Phase ................................................. Single-Phase

Power Supply Circuit ................................20 Amps

Plug/Receptacle ....................................NEMA 6-20

The circuit requirements listed in this manual
apply to a dedicated circuit—where only
one machine will be running at a time. If this
machine will be connected to a shared circuit
where multiple machines will be running at the
same time, consult a qualified electrician to
ensure that the circuit is properly sized for safe
operation.

an electrician or qualified service personnel,
and it must comply with all local codes and

This machine is equipped with a power cord that
has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding
plug. Only insert plug into a matching receptacle
(outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT modify the provided plug!

Grounding

Requirements

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of cer­tain types of malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current
to travel—in order to reduce the risk of electric shock.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire will increase the risk of electric shock. The wire
with green insulation (with/without yellow stripes) is
the equipment-grounding wire. If repair or replace­ment of the power cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the equipment-grounding wire to a live
(current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service per­sonnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice that
a cord or plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it
from power, and immediately replace it with a new
one.

GROUNDED

6-20 RECEPTACLE

No adapter should be used with plug. If plug
does not fit available receptacle, or if machine
must be reconnected for use on a different type
of circuit, reconnection must be performed by

ordinances.

Extension Cords

We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine. Extension cords cause voltage
drop, which may damage electrical components and
shorten motor life. Voltage drop increases with lon­ger extension cords and smaller gauge sizes (higher
gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must
contain a ground wire, match the required plug and
receptacle, and meet the following requirements:

Minimum Gauge Size ................................ 12 AWG

Maximum Length (Shorter is Better) ............50 ft.

Current Carrying Prongs

ST1006/ST1011 8" Jointer (Mfd. Since 3/16)

Cleanup

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are coated
with a heavy-duty rust preventative that prevents
corrosion during shipment and storage. This rust pre­ventative works extremely well, but it will take a little
time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will give
you a better appreciation for the proper care of your
machine's unpainted surfaces.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

• Disposable rags

• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

• Safety glasses & disposable gloves

• Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:

machinery. Avoid using

There are many ways to remove this rust preven-

tative, but the following steps work well in a
wide variety of situations. Always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions with any clean­ing product you use and make sure you
work in a well-ventilated area to minimize
exposure to toxic fumes.

Gasoline and petroleum
products have low flash
points and can explode or
cause fire if used to clean

these products to clean
machinery.

Many cleaning solvents are
toxic if inhaled. Only work
in a well-ventilated area.

NOTICE

Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as ace­tone or brake parts cleaner, that may damage
painted surfaces.

Put on safety glasses.

Coat the rust preventative with a liberal amount

of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak for 5–10
minutes.

Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/degreaser

is effective, the rust preventative will wipe off
easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper, scrape
off as much as you can first, then wipe off the
rest with the rag.

Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean, then

coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality metal
protectant to prevent rust.
