ST1010 6" Jointer (Mfd. Since 3/16)

-7-

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 (570) 546-9663.

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-

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

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.

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.

Full-Load Current Rating.......................... 13 Amps

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

ST1010 Circuit Requirements

Nominal Voltage .............................................120V

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

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

Power Supply Circuit ................................15 Amps

Plug/Receptacle ............................................... 5 -15

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.

-10-

ST1010 6" Jointer (Mfd. Since 3/16)

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.

The machine must be properly set up before it is safe to operate. DO NOT connect this machine to the power source until instructed to do later in this manual.

No adapter should be used with the required plug. If the plug does not fit the available receptacle or the machine must be reconnected for use on a different type of circuit, the reconnection must be made by an electrician or qualified service personnel and comply with all local codes and ordinances.

This machine is equipped with a power cord that has an equipment-grounding wire and NEMA 5-15 grounding plug. The plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle (see Figure 4) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances.

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.

Site Considerations

Weight Load

Refer to the of your machine. Make sure that the surface upon which the machine is placed will bear the weight of the machine, additional equipment that may be installed on the machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will be used. Additionally, consider the weight of the operator and any dynamic loading that may occur when operating the machine.

Space Allocation

Consider the largest size of workpiece that will be processed through this machine and provide enough space around the machine for adequate operator material handling or the installation of auxiliary equipment. With permanent installations, leave enough space around the machine to open or remove doors/covers as required by the maintenance and service described in this manual.

OPERATIONS

Overview

Eye injuries or respiratory problems can occur while operating this tool. Wear personal protective equipment to reduce your risk from these hazards.

Loose hair/clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury. Keep clothing and long hair away from moving machinery.

DO NOT investigate problems or adjust the lathe while it is running. Wait until the machine is turne d OFF, unplugged and all working parts have come to a complete stop before proceeding!

This planer will perform many types of operations that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed incorrectly.

To complete typical operation, operator does following:

1. Examines workpiece to verify it is safe and suit-

able for cutting.

2. Adjusts fence for width of workpiece and locks it

in place.

3. Adjusts fence tilt, if necessary, and tightens

fence lock lever to secure angle setting.

4. Adjusts infeed table height to set depth-of-cut

per pass.

5. Puts on safety glasses and respirator.

6. Locates push blocks.

7. Starts jointer.

8. Using push blocks, holds workpiece firmly

against both the infeed table and fence, and slides it into cutterhead at a steady and controlled rate until entire length of workpiece has advanced beyond cutterhead to outfeed table.

NOTICE

If you have never used this type of machine or equipment before, WE STRONGLY RECOM MEND that you read books, trade magazines, or get formal training before beginning any projects.

Stock Inspection

and Requirements

Here are some rules to follow when choosing and jointing stock:

• DO NOT joint or surface plane stock that contains loose knots. Injury to the operator or

damage to the workpiece can occur if the knots become dislodged during the cutting operation.

• DO NOT joint or surface plane against the grain direction. Cutting against the grain increases the likelihood of stock kickback, as well as tear-out on the workpiece.

• Jointing and surface planing with the grain

produces a better finish and is safer for the operator. Cutting with the grain is described

as feeding the stock on the jointer so the grain points down and toward you as viewed on the edge of the stock (see Figure 32).

• Only process natural wood fiber through your jointer. Never joint MDF, particle board, plywood, laminates or other synthetically made materials.

• Make sure all stock is sufficiently dried before jointing. Wood with a moisture content over 20% will cause unnecessary wear on the knives and poor cutting results.

• Make sure your workpiece exceeds the min-

imum dimension requirements (see Figures 33 & 34) before edge jointing or surface planing, or it may break or kick back during the operation!

Surface Planing

The purpose of surface planing on the jointer is to make one flat face on a piece of stock (see Figures 41 & 42) to prepare it for surface planing on a thickness planer.

If you are not experienced with a jointer, set the depth of cut to 0", and practice feeding the workpiece across the tables as described below. This procedure will better prepare you for the actual operation.

Failure to use push blocks when surface planing may result in cutterhead contact, which will cause serious personal injury. Always use push blocks to protect your hands when surface planing on the jointer.

7. With a push block in each hand, press the

workpiece against the table and fence with firm pressure, and feed the workpiece over the cutterhead (see Figure 41).

Note: When your leading hand (with push block)

gets within 4" of the cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutterhead, and place the push block on the portion of the workpiece that is on the outfeed table. Now, focus your pressure on the outfeed end of the workpiece while feeding, and repeat the same action with your trailing hand when it gets within 4" of the cutterhead. To keep your hands safe, DO NOT let them get closer than 4" from the cutterhead when it is moving!

To surface plane on the jointer:

1. Read and understand Safety on Page 7.

2. Make sure your stock has been inspected for dangerous conditions as described in the Stock Inspection & Requirements instructions, beginning on Page 25.

3. Set the cutting depth for your operation, see Setting Infeed Table Height on Page 28. ( We

suggest shallow depth for hardwood species or for wide stock.)

4. Make sure your fence is set to 90˚.

5. If your workpiece is cupped (warped), place it so

the concave side is face down on the surface of the infeed table.

Edge Jointing

The purpose of edge jointing is to produce a finished, flat-edged surface (see Figures 43 & 44) that is suitable for joinery or finishing. It is also a necessary step when squaring rough or warped stock.

To edge joint on the jointer:

1. Read and understand Safety, beginning on Page 7.

2. Make sure your stock has been inspected for dangerous conditions as described in the Stock Inspection instructions, beginning on Page 25.

6. Turn jointer ON.

7. Press the workpiece against the table and fence

with firm pressure. Use your trailing hand to guide the workpiece through the cut, and feed the workpiece over the cutterhead (see Figure

44).

Note: If your leading hand gets within 4" of the

cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutterhead, and place it on the portion of the workpiece that is over the outfeed table. Now, focus your pressure on the outfeed end of the workpiece while feeding, and repeat the same action with your trailing hand if it gets within 4" of the cutterhead. To keep your hands safe, DO NOT let them get closer than 4" from the cutterhead when it is moving!

3. Set the cutting depth for your operation. Note:

We suggest between using a more shallow depth for hard wood species or for wide stock.

4. Make sure the fence is set to 90˚ see Setting Fence Stop on Page 39.

Bevel Cutting

The purpose of bevel cutting is to cut a specific angle into the edge of a workpiece (see Figures 45 & 46).

7. With a push block in your leading hand, press

the workpiece against the table and fence with firm pressure, and feed the workpiece over the cutterhead.

The Model ST1010 has preset fence stops at 45˚ inward, 90˚, and 45˚ outward (135˚). If your situation requires a different angle, the preset fence stops can be easily adjusted for your needs.

NOTICE

If you are not experienced with a jointer, set the depth of cut to 0, and practice feeding the workpiece across the tables as described below. This procedure will better prepare you for the actual operation.

To bevel cut on the jointer:

1. Read and understand Saftey, beginning on Page 7.

2. Make sure your stock has been inspected for dangerous conditions as described in the Stock Inspection instructions, beginning on Page 25.

Note: If your leading hand gets within 4" of the

cutterhead, lift it up and over the cutterhead, and place the push block on the portion of the workpiece that is on the outfeed table. Now, focus your pressure on the outfeed end of the workpiece while feeding, and repeat the same action with your trailing hand when it gets within 4" of the cutterhead. To keep your hands safe, DO NOT let them get closer than 4" from the cutterhead when it is moving!

3. Set the cutting depth for your operation.

Note: We suggest between

cutting, using a more shallow depth for hardwood species or for wide stock.

4. Make sure your fence is set to the angle of your desired cut.

5. If your workpiece is cupped (warped), place it so the concave side is face down on the surface of the infeed table.

MAINTENANCE

General

Regular periodic maintenance on your STEELEX Model ST1010/ST1011 will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your machine each time you use it.

Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary:

• Loose mounting bolts.

• Worn ON/OFF paddle switch.

• Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

• Damaged V-belt.

• Any other condition that could hamper the safe

operation of this machine.

Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.

Lubrication

Since all bearings are sealed and permanently lubricated, simply leave them alone until they need to be replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.

Maintenance Schedule

Cleaning

Cleaning the Model ST1010 is relatively easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up, use a resin-dissolving cleaner to remove it.

Protect the unpainted cast-iron surfaces on the table by wiping the table clean after every use—this ensures moisture from wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces.

Keep tables rust-free with regular applications of a quality metal protectant.

Daily:

• Vacuum all dust on and around the machine.

• Wipe down tables and all other unpainted cast- iron with a metal protectant.

Every Month:

• V-belt tension, damage, or wear.

• Clean/vacuum dust buildup from inside cabinet and off of motor.

V-Belts

To ensure optimum power transmission from the motor to the blade, the V-belt must be in good condition (free from cracks, fraying and wear) and properly aligned and tensioned.

Inspecting Knives

Setting Knives

The height of the knives can be easily and quickly inspected with the knife setting jig. This inspection will ensure that the knives are set in the cutterhead as they should be. Usually this is done before calibrating the outfeed table or when troubleshooting.

To inspect the knives:

1. DISCONNECT THE JOINTER FROM THE POWER

SOURCE!

2. Remove the cutterhead guard or block it out of

the way.

3. Lower the infeed table to the

4. Place the knife jig on the cutterhead, directly

over a knife, as shown in Figure 58.

⁄2" scale mark.

Setting the knives correctly is crucial to the proper operation of the jointer and is very important in keeping the knives sharp. If one knife is higher than the others, it will do the majority of the work, and thus, dull much faster than the others.

The knife jig included with the jointer is designed to set the knives at the correct height.

The Model ST1010 comes with both jack screws and springs to provide you with two options for cutterhead adjustments (see Figure 59).

Note: Only one of these options is needed to set the knives—see Step 5* for clarification.

Loosen

Tighten

Knife

Spring

Middle Pad

Figure 58. Jig positioned over cutterhead knife.

5. Carefully inspect how the jig touches the

cutterhead and the knife.

— If both outside legs of the jig sit firmly on the

cutterhead and the middle pad just touches the knife, then that knife is set correctly. (Repeat this inspection with the other knives.)

— If the jig does not sit firmly on the cutterhead

and touch the knife edge as described, then reset that knife. (Repeat this inspection with the other knives before resetting.)

Gib

Jack Screw

Figure 59. Cutterhead profile diagram.

To set the knives:

1. DISCONNECT THE JOINTER FROM THE POWER

SOURCE!

2. Remove the cutterhead guard from the table

and lower the infeed and outfeed tables as far as they go. This will give you unrestricted access to the cutterhead.

3. Remove the cabinet cover to expose the V-belt.

4. Use the V-belt to rotate the cutterhead to access

the cutterhead knives.

ST1010 6" Jointer (Mfd. Since 3/16)

5. Loosen the cutterhead gib bolts, starting in the

middle, and alternating back and forth until all of the gib bolts are loose, but not falling out.

-37-

*Note: If this is the first time you are setting

the knives, remove the gib and knife from the cutterhead. Decide which adjustment option you are going to use between the jack screws and the springs. If you decide to use the jack screws, remove the springs from the cutterhead. If you decide to use the springs, you can just thread the jack screws completely into the cutterhead so they will not get lost. Replace the gib and knife.

6. Position the knife gauge over the knife as shown in Figure 58 and loosen the gib bolts until the knife is completely loose.

7. Jack Screws: Using a 3mm hex wrench, find the jack screws through the access holes in the cutterhead (see Figure 60) and rotate the jack screws to raise or lower the knife. When the knife is set correctly, it will barely touch the middle pad of the knife setting jig. Snug the gib bolts tight enough to just hold the knife in place. Repeat Steps 5-7 with the rest of the knives.

Calibrating Depth

Scale

The depth scale on the infeed table can be calibrated or "zeroed" if it is not correct.

To calibrate the depth scale:

1. Set the outfeed table height as described in the Setting Outfeed Table Height sub-section.

2. Place a straightedge across the infeed and

outfeed tables.

3. Adjust the infeed table until it is level with the outfeed table, as illustrated in Figure 61.

Straightedge

InfeedOutfeed

Figure 60. Jack screw access hole.

Springs: Push the knife down with the jig so the knife

edge is touching the middle pad of the jig. Hold the jig down and tighten the gib bolts just tight enough to hold the knife in place. Repeat Steps

5-7 with the rest of the knives.

8. Rotate the cutterhead to the first knife you start-

ed with. Slightly tighten all the gib bolts, starting at the ends and working your way to the middle by alternating left and right. Repeat this step on the rest of the knives.

9. Final tighten each gib bolt.

Setting Fence Stops

The fence stops are adjustable nuts and bolts that simplify the task of adjusting the fence to 45˚ inward, 90˚, and 45˚ outward (135˚).

To set the 45˚ inward fence stop:

1. Using a 45˚ square, adjust the fence to the 45˚ inward position, as shown in Figure 63.

To set the 90˚ fence stop:

1. Flip the 90˚ swing stop into the position shown

in Figure 65.

To set the 45˚ outward fence stop:

1. Flip the 90˚ swing stop out of the way as shown in Figure 67.

Adjusting Gibs

The function of the table gibs is to eliminate excessive play in the table movement. The gibs also control how easy the tables move up and down.

Swing Stop

2. Using a sliding bevel adjusted to 135˚, adjust the

fence to the 135˚ (45˚ outward) position.

3. Loosen the jam nut on the 45˚ outward fence stop bolt (Figure 68).

45˚ Outward

Fence Stop Bolt

To adjust the table gibs, do these steps:

1. Using a 10mm wrench, loosen the two outfeed

table gib nuts on the side of the jointer base (Figure 69).

Gib Nuts

Gib Set Screws

Figure 69. Outfeed table gib controls.

2. Using a 3mm hex wrench, evenly tighten the gib

setscrews a small amount, then check the table by moving it up and down. Adjust the setscrews as needed until the friction of the table movement is balanced between minimal play and ease of movement.

4. Adjust the 45˚ outward fence stop bolt until it

makes contact with the back of the fence.

5. Retighten the jam nut loosened in Step 3 and recheck.

Note: Tighter gibs reduce play but make it harder

to adjust the tables.

3. Repeat Steps 1-2 with the other table.

4. Set the outfeed table height as described in Setting Outfeed Table Height on Page 22.
