ST1010 6" Jointer (Mfd. Since 3/16)
MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect power
to the machine before
performing maintenance.
Failure to do this may result
in serious personal injury.
To ensure optimum power transmission from the
motor to the blade, the V-belt must be in good condi-
tion (free from cracks, fraying and wear) and properly
aligned and tensioned.
V-Belts
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.
Cleaning
Regular periodic maintenance on your STEELEX
Model ST1010/ST1011 will ensure its optimum per-
formance. Make a habit of inspecting your machine

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.
General
Lubrication
Since all bearings are sealed and permanently lubri-
cated, simply leave them alone until they need to be
replaced. DO NOT lubricate them.

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