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 2).

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 36.

Fence Movement: The fence has a lock handle that

keeps it in position (see Figure 4). To move the fence,
loosen the lock handle and slide the fence where
needed.

Fence Tilting: The tilt lock (see Figure 4) 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.

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.

-7-

ST1013 12" Jointer (Mfd. Since 3/16)

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].

ST1013 12" 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
below.

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.

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:

Circuit Requirements

Nominal Voltage .............................................230V

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.

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.

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.

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.

below for required space allocation.

Physical Environment

The physical environment where the machine is
operated is important for safe operation and longev­ity of machine components. For best results, operate
this machine in a dry environment that is free from
excessive moisture, hazardous chemicals, airborne
abrasives, or extreme conditions. Extreme conditions
for this type of machinery are generally those where
the ambient temperature range exceeds 41°–104°F;
the relative humidity range exceeds 20%–95% (non­condensing); or the environment is subject to vibra-

Lifting & Moving

Anchoring to Floor

The model ST1013 requires the use of lifting equip­ment, such as a forklift, engine hoist, or boom crane.
DO NOT lift the machine by hand.

HEAVY LIFT!
Straining or crushing injury may occur from
improperly lifting machine or some of its parts.
To reduce this risk, get help from other people
and use a forklift (or other lifting equipment)
rated for weight of this machine.

To lift and place machine:

1. Remove crate from shipping pallet, then with

jointer still on pallet, move to installation
location.

Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping or
shifting and reduces vibration that may occur during
operation, resulting in a machine that runs slightly
quieter and feels more solid.

If the machine will be installed in a commercial or
workplace setting, or if it is permanently connected
(hardwired) to the power supply, local codes may
require that it be anchored to the floor.

If not required by any local codes, fastening the
machine to the floor is an optional step. If you choose
not to do this with your machine, we recommend
placing it on machine mounts, as these provide an
easy method for leveling and they have vibration-ab­sorbing pads.

Anchoring to Concrete Floors

Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below) are a
popular way to anchor machinery to a concrete floor,
because the anchors sit flush with the floor surface,
making it easy to unbolt and move the machine later,
if needed. However, anytime local codes apply, you
MUST follow the anchoring methodology specified
by the code.

2. Wrap lifting straps around infeed and outfeed
tables, as shown in Figure 10. Then attach lift­ing strap ends to forklift forks, a hoist, or other
powered lifting equipment.

Figure 10. Correct placement of lifting straps.

3. Unbolt jointer from pallet, then lift machine off

pallet and onto suitable location.

Assembly

Make sure the underside of the fence, the top of the
carriage, and top of the table have been thoroughly
cleaned of all the export grease before installing
the fence or the fence will not slide easily and will
get quickly gummed up when exposed to sawdust.
The fence has a keyway slot built into the underside
of it that fits over the key on the table. These keep
the fence perpendicular to the cutterhead during
adjustments.

2. With the help of an assistant, lift the fence

assembly over the fence bracket, slip the sliding
bushing on the carriage into the slot on the
fence bracket, as shown in Figure 13, and make
sure the key and keyway slot fit snugly.

The fence is heavy. Seek assis­tance when lifting it onto the
jointer stand.

To assemble jointer:

1. Align mounting holes on fence bracket and joint-

er, and fasten with M12-1.75 x 30 cap screws, flat
washers, and lock washers, as shown in Figure

12.

Slot

Key

Figure 13. Installing fence assembly.

3. Secure bolt with 12mm flat washer and lock

nut.

4. Remove both M10-1.5 x 25 cap screws and flat

washers securing pedestal to jointer base (see
Figure 14).

Cap Screws

5. Turn pedestal upright and fasten it to jointer
with cap screws and washers removed in Step

4, as shown in Figure 15.

Figure 15. Mounting pedestal in upright position.

6. Pull guard back and let it go. Guard should

spring back over cutterhead.

—If guard drags across table, raise it slightly so

it won't drag.

—If guard does not spring back over cutterhead,

loosen set screws shown in Figure 16, remove
cutterhead guard, and re-install it so flat part
of guard shaft faces set screws. Check to make
sure cutterhead guard works.

The outfeed table MUST be level with the
inserts at their highest point during rotation or
the workpiece cannot be feed across the jointer
safely. The outfeed table height is factory set,
but we recommend that you check it to make
sure that it didn't change during shipping.

7. Place straightedge on outfeed table so it extends

over cutterhead (see Figure 17).

Straightedge

Outfeed Infeed

table with insert at top dead center.

8. Rotate cutterhead pulley until one insert is at

top-dead-center (TDC), as illustrated in Figure

18.

Top Dead

Center

The cutterhead guard is a critical safety feature
on this machine—you MUST install and verify
that it is working as intended before using the
jointer! Failure to do this will greatly increase
the chances of a serious injury when operating
the jointer.

Figure 16. Adjusting cutterhead guard.

Figure 18. Insert at top dead center.

When correctly set, the insert will barely touch the
straightedge, as shown in Figure 17.

— If your outfeed table is correctly set, no adjust-

ments are necessary.

— If the insert lifts the straightedge off the

table or it is below the straightedge, then the
outfeed table must be reset. Refer to Setting
Outfeed Table Height on Page 37.

Test Run

Once assembly is complete, test run the machine to
ensure it is properly connected to power and safety
components are functioning correctly.

If you find an unusual problem during the test run,
immediately stop the machine, disconnect it from
power, and fix the problem BEFORE operating the
machine again. The Troubleshooting table in the

SERVICE section of this manual can help.

Recommended CFM at Dust Port: ...........615 CFM

Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the
rating of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at
the dust port, you must consider these variables: (1)
CFM rating of the dust collector, (2) hose type and
length between the dust collector and the machine,
(3) number of branches or wyes, and (4) amount of
other open lines throughout the system. Explaining
how to calculate these variables is beyond the scope
of this manual. Consult an expert or purchase a good
dust collection “how-to” book.

To connect a dust collection hose:

Adjustments

For your convenience, the adjustments listed below
have been performed at the factory. However,
because of the many variables involved with ship­ping, it is possible some of these adjustments may
have changed during transportation and handling.

Before making any service adjustments, we recom­mend operating the machine on a trial basis. First,
check the cutting results. If the cutting results are
satisfactory, no further adjustments are necessary.

5. Push START button to start machine. A correctly

operating machine runs smoothly with little or
no vibration or rubbing noises.

6. Press STOP button to turn machine OFF.

7. WITHOUT resetting STOP button, press START

button. Machine should not start.

— If machine does not start, the STOP but-

ton safety feature is working correctly.
Congratulations! The Test Run is complete.

— If machine does start (with STOP button

pushed in), immediately disconnect power
to machine. The STOP button safety feature is
not working correctly. This safety feature must
work properly before proceeding with regular
operations. Call Tech Support for help.

Factory adjustments that should be verified:

• Table Parallelism (refer to Page 33).

• Depth-of-Cut Scale Calibration (refer to Page

37).

• Fence Stop Accuracy (refer to Page 38).

Tighten Belt

The final step in the setup process must be done
after the first 16 hours of operation. During this time,
the belt will stretch and seat into the pulley grooves.
After this time, you must re-tension the belt to avoid
slippage and burn out, and to ensure optimal power
transmision from the motor to the cutterhead. Refer
to Page 39 when you are ready to perform this
important adjustment.

Note: Pulleys and belt can get hot. This is a nor­mal condition. Allow them to cool before making
adjustments.

Overview

OPERATIONS

The Model ST1013 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.

The instructions in this section are written with the
understanding that the operator has the necessary
knowledge and skills to operate this machine. If at
any time you are experiencing difficulties performing
any operation, stop using the machine!

If you are an inexperienced operator, we strongly
recommend that you read books, trade articles, or
seek training from an experienced jointer operator
before performing any unfamiliar operations. Above

all, your safety should come first!

To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the 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.

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

per pass.

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 turned
OFF, unplugged and all
working parts have come
to a complete stop before
proceeding!

5. Puts on safety glasses, respirator, and ear

protection.

6. Locates push blocks.

7. Starts jointer.

8. Holds workpiece firmly against 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.

9. Repeats cutting process until desired results are
achieved.

10. Stops jointer.

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.

Requirements

Follow these rules when choosing and jointing
stock:

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

operator or damage to the workpiece can occur
if a knot becomes dislodged during the cutting
operation.

• Scrape all glue off the workpiece before
jointing. Glue deposits on the workpiece, hard

or soft, will gum up the cutterhead and produce
poor results.

• Remove foreign objects from the workpiece.
Make sure that any stock you process with the
jointer is clean and free of dirt, nails, staples, tiny
rocks or any other foreign objects that could
damage the cutterhead. These particles could
also cause a spark as they strike the cutterhead
and create a fire hazard.

• Jointing and surface planing with the grain is
safer for the operator and produces a better
finish. Cutting against the grain increases the

likelihood of kickback and workpiece tear-out.
DO NOT cut against the grain! Cutting with the
grain is feeding the stock across the cutterhead
so the grain points down and back, as viewed
from the front edge of the stock (see Figure 22).

Note: If the grain changes direction along the

edge of the workpiece, decrease the depth of cut
and make additional passes.

Note: Wood stacked on a concrete or dirt surface

can have small pieces of concrete or stone pressed
into the surface.

• Make sure all stock is sufficiently dried before
jointing. Wood with a moisture content over

20% will cause unnecessary wear on the cutters
and poor cutting results. Excess moisture can
also hasten rust and corrosion.

• Make sure your workpiece exceeds the min­imum dimension requirements, as shown in
Figure 23, before processing it through the
jointer, or the workpiece may break or kick­back during the operation.

• Only process natural wood fiber through
your jointer. Your jointer is designed to cut
only natural wood stock. This machine is NOT
designed to cut metal, glass, stone, tile, prod­ucts with lead-based paint, or products that
contain asbestos—cutting these materials with
a jointer may lead to injury.

Squaring Stock

Squaring stock involves four steps performed in the
following order:

1. Surface Plane On The Jointer: The concave
face of the workpiece is surface planed flat with
the jointer (see Figure 24).

Figure 24. Surface plane on the jointer.

2. Surface Plane On a Thickness Planer: The

opposite face of the workpiece is surface planed
flat with a thickness planer (see Figure 25).

3. Edge Joint On The Jointer: The concave edge

of the workpiece is jointed flat with the jointer
(see Figure 26).

Figure 26. Edge joint on the jointer.

4. Rip-Cut On A Table Saw: The jointed edge of

the workpiece is placed against a table saw

Surface Planing

The purpose of surface planing (see Figures 28–29)
on the jointer is to make one flat face on a piece of
stock to prepare it for thickness planing on a planer.

NOTICE

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

MAINTENANCE

To reduce risk of shock or
accidental startup, always
disconnect machine from
power before adjustments,

maintenance, or service.

General

Regular periodic maintenance on your STEELEX
Model ST1013 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 switch.

• Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

• Damaged V-belt.

• Any other condition that could hamper the safe

operation of this machine.

Schedule

For optimum performance from your machine, follow
this maintenance schedule and refer to any specific
instructions given in this section.

Cleaning/Protecting

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 table by wiping it
clean after every use—this ensures moisture from
wood dust does not remain on bare metal surfaces.

®

Keep the table rust-free with regular applications of a
high-quality metal protectant.

Lubrication

NOTICE

Failure to follow reasonable lubrication prac­tices as instructed in this manual for your
machine could lead to premature failure of
components and void the warranty.

Your jointer features bearings that are lubricated
and sealed at the factory. These bearing do not
require any further attention unless they need to be
replaced. If a bearing fails, your planer will probably
develop a noticeable rumble or vibration, which will
increase when the machine is under a load. The bear­ings are standard sizes and can be replaced through
Woodstock.

Note: This maintenance schedule is based on average
daily usage. Adjust the maintenance schedule to match
your usage, to keep your planer running smoothly.

Daily:

• Vacuum all dust on and around the table.

• Clean machine and protect unpainted cast- iron.

• Tighten loose mounting bolts.

• Check/sharpen/replace damaged or worn
inserts (Page 32).

Every Month:

• Check V-belt tension, damage, and wear (Page

39).

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

V-Belts

To ensure optimum power transmission from the
motor to the cutterhead, the V-belt must be in good
condition (free from cracks, fraying and wear) and
properly aligned and tensioned (refer to the instruc­tions on Page 39).

were removed from.

Tip: Use low-pressure compressed air or vacuum

nozzle to clean cutterhead pocket.

8. Re-install insert so that a fresh cutting edge

faces outward, making sure it is properly seated
in cutterhead pocket.

Figure 41. Insert rotating sequence.

Each insert has a reference dot on one corner. As the
insert is rotated, the reference dot location can be
used as an indicator of which edges are used and
which are new. When the reference dot revolves back
around to its starting position, the insert should be
replaced.

Checking/Adjusting

Table Parallelism

5. Place straightedge in positions shown in Figure

45. In each position, straightedge should touch

cutterhead and sit flat on outfeed table.

If the tables are not parallel with the cutterhead or
each other, then poor cutting results and kickback
may occur.

To check outfeed table parallelism:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Remove cutterhead guard and fence.

3. Loosen outfeed table lock located at front of

machine, and loosen jam nuts and stop bolts
located at back of machine (see Figure 43).

Positive Stop Bolts

— If straightedge touches cutterhead and sits

flat across outfeed table in each position,
then outfeed table is already parallel with
cutterhead. Check infeed table to make sure
that it is parallel with outfeed table.

— If straightedge does not touch cutterhead

and sit flat on outfeed table in any of the posi­tions, then outfeed table is not parallel with
cutterhead. Correct outfeed table parallelism,
then correct infeed table parallelism.

Straightedge

Outfeed Table Infeed Table

To check infeed table parallelism:

1. Follow steps for checking outfeed table paral-

lelism to first make sure outfeed table is parallel
with cutterhead.

2. Raise outfeed table higher than cutterhead.

Adjusting Table Parallelism

For safe and proper cutting results, the tables must
be parallel with the cutterhead. Adjusting them to
be parallel is a task of precision and patience, and
may take up to one hour to complete. Luckily, this is
considered a permanent adjustment and should not
need to be repeated for the life of the machine.

3. Place straightedge halfway across infeed table

and halfway over outfeed table, and adjust
infeed table even with outfeed table, as shown
in Figure 46.

Figure 46. Infeed and outfeed tables set evenly.

4. Place straightedge in positions shown in Figure

47. In each position, straightedge should sit flat

against both the outfeed table and infeed table.

— If straightedge sits flat against both infeed

and outfeed table, then the tables are parallel.

— If straightedge does not sit flat against both

the infeed and outfeed table in any of the
positions, then the infeed table needs to be
adjusted parallel with the outfeed.

Due to the complex nature of this task, we recom­mend that you double check the current table posi­tions to make sure that they really need to be adjust­ed before starting.

The tables have four eccentric bushings under each
corner that allow the tables to be adjusted parallel.
These eccentric bushings are locked in place by pig­gybacked set screws (one on top of the other) and
adjusted when the eccentric bushing is rotated.

The correct order for adjusting the table parallelism
is to first adjust the outfeed table parallel with the
cutterhead, then adjust the infeed table parallel with
the outfeed table.

When setting the outfeed table, all measurements
must be made from the cutterhead body—not the
inserts—or results may get skewed the next time you
change inserts.

Important: The next steps are intended to be per­formed in succession with the same steps for checking
the outfeed table. Do not continue until you have fol­lowed those steps.

may be necessary to turn eccentric bushings)
so straightedge touches cutterhead while lying
flat across outfeed table. Repeat this step with
each of the remaining straightedge positions as
many times as necessary until outfeed table is
parallel with cutterhead.

6. Place straightedge halfway across infeed table

and halfway over outfeed table, and adjust
infeed table even with outfeed table, as shown
in Figure 46 on Page 34.

7. Place straightedge in one of the positions shown
in Figure 47 on Page 34, and adjust eccentric
bushings under infeed table so straightedge lies
flat against both tables. Repeat this step with
each of the remaining straightedge positions
as many times as necessary until infeed table is
parallel with outfeed table.

8. Tighten/replace set screws in the eccentric
bushings on infeed table.

9. Set outfeed table height (see Page 36).

Setting Outfeed Table

Height

The outfeed table height must be even with the
top of the cutterhead inserts. If the outfeed table is
set too low, there will be snipe. If the outfeed table
is set too high, the workpiece will hit the edge of
the outfeed table during operation, increasing the
chance of kickback.

Setting Infeed Table

Calibrating Depth

Height

The infeed table on the Model ST1013 has positive
stop bolts that, when properly set up, allow the oper­ator to quickly adjust the infeed table between finish/
final cuts and shaping/heavy cuts.

We recommend setting the minimum depth of cut to

1

/32" and the maximum depth of cut to 1/8" for most
operations. DO NOT exceed
machine or kickback and serious injury may occur!

Each positive stop bolt (see Figure 53) controls the
top or bottom range of the table movement. The jam
nut locks the positive stop bolt in position so it will
not move during operation.

Tensioning/Replacing

V-Belt

To ensure optimum power transmission from the
motor to the cutterhead, the belt must be in good
condition (free from cracks, fraying and wear) and
properly tensioned. As the machine is used, the belts
will slightly wear and stretch, eventually losing their
efficiency of transmitted power until they can be
retensioned.

Also, a new belt typically has a break-in period, and
should be checked/retensioned after the first 16
hours of belt life, as it will stretch and seat during this
time.

6. Press belt with moderate pressure in center to

check belt tension. Belt is correctly tensioned
when there is approximately
pushed, as shown in Figure 61.

—If there is more than 1⁄4" deflection when you

check belt tension, repeat the tensioning pro­cedure until it is correct.

Pulley Alignment

Pulley alignment is another important factor in power
transmission and belt life. The pulleys should be par­allel to each other and in the same plane (coplanar)
for optimum performance.

4. Loosen fasteners that hold motor to brackets
(see Figure 63).

Each pulley can be adjusted by loosening the motor
mount bolts, sliding the motor in or out, and retight­ening the fasteners to lock the motor pulley in place.

To align pulleys:

1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2. Open pulley cover and remove belt guard.

3. Visually check alignment of the two pulleys to

make sure they are aligned and that V-belts are
