I know it’s only a 6” but that’s all I need right now, couldn’t justify the extra expense for the 8” at the moment.

The tips that others gave about alignment and such are great tips. I would like to add one more. Read about the safety tips and guides. Also take extra care when jointing really small/thin boards. When the grain is oriented badly it can chip out and cause your workpiece to break. You don't want your hands near that.
