ST1001 6" Jointer
•
Remove foreign objects from the stock.
Make
sure that any stock you process with the jointer
is clean and free of any dirt, nails, staples, tiny
rocks or any other foreign objects that may dam-
age the jointer blades.
•
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 dry before
jointing.
Jointing wood with a moisture content
over 20% will cause unnecessary wear on the
knives and yield poor cutting results.
•
Make sure your workpiece exceeds the mini-
mum dimension requirements
(
Figures 27 &
28
) before edge jointing or surface planing, or it
may break or kickback during the operation!
