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).
SAFETY For Your Own Safety, Read Instruction Manual 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
SETUP Unpacking The Model ST1013 was carefully packed when it left our warehouse. If you discover your machine is damaged immediately call your dealer. Save the containers and all packing materials for possible inspection by the carrier or its agent. Otherwise, filing a freight claim can be difficult. When you are completely satisfied with the condition of your shipment, you should inventory the contents.
Inventory The following is a list of items shipped with your machine. Before beginning setup, lay these items out and inventory them. Note: If you cannot find an item on this list, carefully check around/inside the machine and packaging materials. Often, these items get lost in packaging materials while unpacking or they are pre-installed at the factory. A Wood Crate (Figures 6–7) Qty A.

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.
Site Considerations Weight Load Physical Environment Refer to the Machine Specifications for the weight 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.
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. 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.
Assembly 2. 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.
5. Turn pedestal upright and fasten it to jointer with cap screws and washers removed in Step 4, as shown in Figure 15. 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).
Dust Collection This machine creates substantial amounts of dust during operation. Breathing airborne dust on a regular basis can result in permanent respiratory illness. Reduce your risk by wearing a respirator and capturing the dust with a dust collection system.

3. Connect machine to power supply. 4. Twist STOP button clockwise until it pops out (see Figure 21). This resets switch so machine will start. T W I ST STOP Button Figure 21. Resetting the STOP button. 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.
OPERATIONS Overview 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. Eye injuries or respiratory problems can occur while operating this tool. Wear personal protective equipment to reduce your risk from these hazards. The instructions in this section are written with the understanding that the operator has the necessary knowledge and skills to operate this machine.
Stock Inspection & 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. • 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.
Squaring Stock 3. Squaring stock involves four steps performed in the following order: 1. Edge Joint On The Jointer: The concave edge of the workpiece is jointed flat with the jointer (see Figure 26). Surface Plane On The Jointer: The concave face of the workpiece is surface planed flat with the jointer (see Figure 24). Figure 26. Edge joint on the jointer. 4. Figure 24. Surface plane on the jointer. 2.
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. To surface plane on jointer: 1.
Edge Jointing The purpose of edge jointing is to produce a finished, flat-edged surface that is suitable for joinery or finishing, as shown in Figures 30–31. It is also a necessary step when squaring rough or warped stock. To edge joint on jointer: 1. Inspect stock to ensure it is safe and suitable for the operation (see Stock Inspection & Requirements section). 2. Set infeed table height to desired cutting depth for each pass.
Bevel Cutting Bevel cuts (see Figures 32–33) can be made by setting the fence at the desired angle and feeding the workpiece firmly along the fence face, with the bottom inside corner firmly against the table. The cutting process typically requires multiple passes or cuts to bevel the entire edge of a workpiece. To bevel cut on jointer: 1. Inspect stock to ensure it is safe and suitable for the operation (see Stock Inspection & Requirements section). 2.

SERVICE Troubleshooting The following troubleshooting tables cover common problems that may occur with this machine. If you need replacement parts or additional troubleshooting help, contact our Technical Support. Note: Before contacting Tech Support, find the machine serial number and manufacture date, and if available, your original purchase receipt. This information is required to properly assist you.
Operations PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION Tables are hard to adjust. 1. Table lock is engaged/partially engaged. 2. Table stops blocking movement. 1. Completely loosen table locks. 2. Loosen/reset table stop bolts. Excessive snipe (gouge in end of board that is uneven with rest of cut). 1. Outfeed table is set too low. 1. Align outfeed table with cutterhead inserts at top dead center (Page 36). 2. Focus most of the workpiece pressure against outfeed table while cutting. 2.
Rotating/Replacing Cutterhead Inserts This helical cutterhead is equipped with indexable carbide inserts. Each insert can be rotated to reveal any one of its four cutting edges. Therefore, if one cutting edge becomes dull or damaged, simply rotate it 90˚ to reveal a fresh cutting edge (see Figure 41). Reference Dot 3. Open pulley cover to expose cutterhead pulley. 4. Rotate cutterhead pulley to provide access to insert(s) to be rotated/replaced. 5. Put on heavy leather gloves for protection. 6.
Checking/Adjusting Table Parallelism 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 5. Place straightedge in positions shown in Figure 45.
Adjusting Table Parallelism To check infeed table parallelism: 1. Follow steps for checking outfeed table parallelism to first make sure outfeed table is parallel with cutterhead. 2. Raise outfeed table higher than cutterhead. 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.
To adjust table parallelism: 1. Place straightedge on outfeed table so it hangs over cutterhead, and lower outfeed table until straightedge just touches cutterhead body, as shown in Figure 44 on Page 33 (rotate cutterhead if necessary). 2. Remove set screw from each of the four eccentric bushings (see Figure 48) under outfeed table, and loosen set screws underneath those removed set screws. 4. Tighten/replace set screws in eccentric bushings on outfeed table. 5.
Setting Outfeed Table Height 5. Use motor pulley to rotate cutterhead until one of the inserts is at top dead center (its highest point during rotation), as illustrated in Figures 51–52. 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 Height Calibrating Depth Scale 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. The depth-of-cut scale can be calibrated or "zeroed" to make sure the cutting depth shown on the scale matches the actual cutting depth (per pass). We recommend setting the minimum depth of cut to 1 /32" and the maximum depth of cut to 1/8" for most operations.
Setting Fence Stops The fence stops simplify the task of adjusting the fence to 45˚ inward, 90˚, and 45˚ outward (135˚). To set 90˚ fence stop: 1. Lower stop block against fence, as shown in Figure 58, and loosen fence tilt lock. To set 45˚ inward fence stop: 1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER! 2. Tilt fence approximately 45° inward (see Figure 56) onto positive stop bolts, using a 45° square as a gauge. Jam Nut Stop Block Positive Stop Bolt Figure 58. Adjusting fence to 90°. 2.
Tensioning/Replacing V-Belt 6. 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. Press belt with moderate pressure in center to check belt tension.
Pulley Alignment 4. Loosen fasteners that hold motor to brackets (see Figure 63). 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. 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. Fasteners To align pulleys: 1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER! 2.
