Additional Safety Instructions For Sanders
1. MAINTAIN A SECURE GRIP ON THE
WORKPIECE. The belt speed is approxi-
mately 1800 FPM. If control is lost, the
workpiece can be propelled from the
machine at extreme speed.
6. TURN OFF THE SANDER WHEN NOT
IN USE. Never leave a machine running
unattended.
7. DO NOT stand directly in line with sanding
accessories when turning the machine on.
2. CREATE A SAFETY ZONE AROUND
THE SANDING SURFACE. If you can't
control your workpiece with your hands at
least 6" away from the sanding belt, you
should create a jig or other device to hold
the workpiece safely.
8. DO NOT force the workpiece against the
belt during operation. Firmly grasp the
workpiece in both hands and ease it
against the belt using light pressure.
9. DO NOT wear loose clothing while operat-
ing this machine. Roll up sleeves or button
sleeves at the cuff.
3. REPLACE BELTS WHEN WORN OR
DAMAGED. A torn or damaged belt could
be unexpectedly expelled from the
machine if not replaced.
10. DO NOT place hands near, or in contact
with belt during operation.
4. KEEP YOUR WORKPIECE SOLIDLY ON
THE SANDER TABLE. A well-secured
workpiece is less likely to lose control dur-
ing sanding operations.
11. WEAR A DUST MASK OR RESPIRA-
TOR when sanding, even if you have a
reliable method of dust collection.
5. INSPECT MATERIALS FOR DEFECTS.
Knots and splinters can shoot from the
machine with great force. Make sure
defective materials are not used on the
belt sander. Foreign objects such as nails
and staples should also be removed
before sanding.
12. PERFORM MACHINE INSPECTIONS
and maintenance service promptly when
called for.
Operating this equipment has the potential
to propel debris into the air which can
cause eye injury. Always wear safety glass-
es or goggles when operating equipment.
Everyday glasses or reading glasses only
have impact resistant lenses, they are not
safety glasses. Be certain the safety glass-
es you wear meet the appropriate stan-
dards of the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).
No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies to
your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury, damage to equip-
ment or poor work results.

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
220V/110V
Operation
Standard
Locking
The Model G1140 has a dual-voltage 11⁄2 HP,
1720 RPM motor which has been pre-wired for
use in a 220V single phase circuit. The cord set
enclosed does not have a plug as the style of
plug you require will depend upon the type of
service you currently have or plan to install. If you
will be installing a new receptacle and plug, we
recommend either of the styles shown in Figure
1. Note that you have the choice between simple
plug-in and twist-lock plug styles.
Figure 1. Two typical outlet/plug configurations.
Grounding
Should you prefer to utilize the 110V capability, a
wiring diagram is provided near the back of this
manual showing the wiring changes needed.
Operating at 110V will also require installing a
grounded plug.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor which
must be properly connected to a grounding plug.
The plug must be inserted into a matching outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.
Circuit Load
Improper connections of the electrical-grounding
conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The
conductor with green or green and yellow striped
insulation is the electrical-grounding conductor. If
repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug
is necessary, do not connect the equipment
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
The Model G1140 will draw approximately 8
amps at 220V and 16 amps at 110V. Circuit pro-
tection when operating at 220V should be on a
breaker rated at 15 amps or a fuse rated at 20
amps. At 110V a 20 amp slow-blow fuse or
breaker should be used. Fusing at amperage rat-
ings higher than these will not adequately protect
the motor from high heat caused by overloading.
You are cautioned that equipment returned to us
for service that shows evidence of being over-
fused will be repaired or replaced totally at the
customer’s expense, regardless of the present
warranty status.
This equipment must be grounded. Verify
that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you
intend to plug into is actually grounded. If it is
not, it will be necessary to run a separate 12
A.W.G. copper grounding wire from the outlet
to a known ground. Under no circumstances
should the grounding pin from any three-
pronged plug be removed. Serious injury may
occur.
Be aware that other machines operating on the
same circuit simultaneously will also add load
which can cause the circuit protection system to
trip.

Extension Cords
Wiring Diagram
We do not recommend the use of extension cords
on 220V equipment. It is much better to arrange
the placement of your equipment and the
installed wiring to eliminate the need for exten-
sion cords. Should it be necessary to use an
extension make sure the cord is rated Hard
Service (grade S) or better. Refer to the chart in
Section 1: Safety Instructions to determine the
minimum gauge for the extension cord. The
extension cord must also contain a ground wire
and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension
cords when they become worn or damaged.
Your G1140 machine comes pre-wired for 220
volt operation. A wiring diagram is provided at the
back of this manual should it be necessary to
repair or revise the wiring. Always utilize a quali-
fied electrician when doing any electrical work on
this equipment.
We have covered some basic electrical
requirements for the safe operation of your
Edge Sander. These requirements are not
necessarily comprehensive. You must be
sure that your particular electrical configu-
ration complies with local and state codes.
Ensure compliance by checking with your
local municipality or a licensed electrician.

Clean Up
Site Considerations
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy
oil to protect it from corrosion during shipment.
Remove this protective coating with a solvent
cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. Avoid chlo-
rine-based solvents as they may damage painted
surfaces should they come in contact. Always fol-
low the usage instructions on the product you
choose for clean up.
1. Floor Load: Your G1140 Sander represents
a large weight load in a small footprint. Most
commercial floors are suitable for the Model
G1140. Some residential floors may require
additional build up to support both machine
and operator.
2. Working Clearances: Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be
processed through each machine, and
space for auxiliary stands, work tables or
other machinery when establishing a home
for your edge sander. Allow sufficient room
to safely run your machines in any foresee-
able operation.
Many of the solvents commonly used to
clean machinery can be highly flammable,
and toxic when inhaled or ingested. Always
work in well-ventilated areas far from
potential ignition sources when dealing
with solvents. Use care when disposing of
waste rags and towels to be sure they do
not create fire or environmental hazards.
Keep children and animals safely away
when cleaning and assembling this
machine.
3. Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be
bright enough to eliminate shadow and pre-
vent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be
dedicated or large enough to handle amper-
age requirements. Outlets should be located
near each machine so power or extension
cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe
local electrical codes for proper installation
of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
Do not use gasoline or other petroleum-
based solvents to remove this protective
coating. These products generally have low
flash points which makes them extremely
flammable. A risk of explosion and burning
exists if these products are used. Serious
personal injury may occur.
Be certain that this machine is properly
grounded before attempting to use it. If you
are unsure of the quality and condition of
the circuit you intend to use, have it inspect-
ed and repaired by a qualified electrician.
All die-cut metal parts have a sharp edge
(called “flashing”) on them after they are
formed. This is generally removed at the
factory. Sometimes a bit of flashing might
escape inspection, and the sharp edge may
cause cuts or lacerations when handled.
Please examine the edges of all die-cut
metal parts and file or sand the edge to
remove the flashing before handling.
NOTICE
Ensure that the Model G1140 is located on a
flat, level surface. This will maximize the
stability of the machine and ensure that
adjustments are accurate. For conditions
where permanent mounting is possible, we
recommend bolting the Edge Sander to
your floor. This type of mounting will mini-
mize vibration and provide a more stable
work environment.

SECTION 5: ADJUSTMENTS
Belt Tracking
Auxiliary Table
1. Carefully move the belt left to right by hand
and adjust the tracking knob as necessary to
achieve proper tracking. See Figure 19.
Loosen the thumb screws, position the auxiliary
table, re-tighten the thumb screws. See Figure
20. Note that the ends of the roller are tapered.
This helps keep the belt tracked. When using the
end roller for curved sanding, we recommend you
use the center portion of the roller to assure prop-
er belt tracking. This also prevents the edge of
the workpiece from becoming tapered.
2. Before beginning this step, read the entitled
Test Run on page 18. Connect to power and
turn the machine on and off quickly. If the
belt appears to track OK turn the machine on
and fine tune the tracking. Tighten the track-
ing lock knob.
Figure 20. Table adjustment thumbscrews.
Figure 19. Location of tracking knob.
Moving sanding belts are dangerously
abrasive. Use extreme caution when work-
ing near sanding surfaces. Use extreme
caution while making adjustments that
require momentary or extended operation
of the edge sander. Failure to exercise care
while sanding could result in severe injury.

Platen Tilt
Belt Tension
1. Loosen the lock bolt shown in Figure 23.
Belt tension is preset at the factory and usually
requires no adjustment. If the need to increase
the tension should occur, unthread the retaining
nut at the end of the idler roller mounting shaft.
See Figure 25. Do not unthread the nut more
than 1⁄2 its length. If tension problems persist, call
the service center for further help.
2. Carefully tilt the platen assembly over.
Figure 24.
3. After returning the platen assembly back to
its upright position, retighten the lock bolt
depicted in Figure 23.

Operating this equipment has the potential
to propel debris into the air which can
cause eye injury. Always wear safety glass-
es or goggles when operating equipment.
Everyday glasses or reading glasses only
have impact resistant lenses, they are not

es you wear meet the appropriate stan-
dards of the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).

SECTION 6: OPERATIONS
Test Run
Edge & End Sanding
Figure 26 depicts a typical edge sanding
process. The back stop can be used for shorter
workpieces if so desired.
Once the assembly is complete and the adjust-
ments are done to your satisfaction, you are
ready to test the machine.
Turn on the power supply at the main panel.
Press the START button. Make sure that your fin-
ger is poised on the STOP button, just in case
there’s a problem. The edge sander should run
smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing
noises. Strange or unnatural noises should be
investigated and corrected before operating the
machine further.
If noises occur that can not be found by visual
inspection, feel free to contact our service depart-
ment for help.
If the sander runs smoothly, try sanding a piece
of lumber. If a problem exists, stop the machine
and review all the adjustments. Call for assis-
tance, if needed.
Figure 26. Typical edge sanding method.
Figure 27 depicts a typical method for sanding
the end of a workpiece.
Use extreme caution when preparing for
your initial test run. Always keep one finger
on the STOP button in order to quickly shut
off the machine in the event of a malfunc-
tion.
DO NOT attempt to investigate or adjust the
machine while the machine is still running.
Turn off the machine and disconnect it from
its power source before attempting any
repair or adjustment. Serious operator
injury could occur if this guideline is not fol-
lowed.

Horizontal Sanding
Contour Sanding
When face sanding, tilt the platen so it is hori-
zontal and use the back stop to hold your work-
piece. Apply even hand pressure while moving
the workpiece back and forth for even belt wear.
When contour sanding, adjust the auxiliary table
up or down so the workpiece is roughly centered
on the roller. Move the workpiece over the roller
to achieve your desired profile.
Figure 28. Typical face sanding method.
Figure 29. Typical contour sanding method.
Sanding surfaces are capable of causing
serious personal injury if they come in con-
tact with fingers, hands or other body parts.
Use extreme care to provide a large buffer
area between the sanding belt and any part
of your body.
Do not operate this equipment when wear-
ing loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets or other jewelry which might get
caught in the moving belt or trapped
between the belt and the tables. Serious
personal injury may result.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
Table
General
Make a habit of inspecting your sander each time
you use it. Check for the following conditions and
repair or replace when necessary.
The table and other non-painted surfaces on the
Model G1140 should be protected against rust
and pitting. Wiping the sander clean after every
use ensures that moisture from sander dust isn’t
allowed to trap moisture against bare metal sur-
faces.
1. Loose mounting bolts.
2. Worn switch.
Some woodworkers recommend using automo-
tive paste wax on exposed steel and cast iron
surfaces. The wax provides a layer of protection,
as well as reducing friction between lumber and
the table, making cuts faster and smoother. Avoid
waxes that contain silicone or other synthetic
ingredients. These materials can find their way
into lumber that’s being worked, and can make
staining and finishing difficult. If you use paste
wax, make sure that it’s 100% Carnauba wax.
3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.
4. Damaged sanding belt.
5. Any other condition that could hamper the
safe operation of this machine.
Lubrication
Shielded and pre-lubricated ball bearings require
no lubrication for the life of the bearings. In a con-
tinuous-use environment, expect the bearings to
last for several years. With intermittent use, bear-
ings can be expected to last much longer. All
bearings are standard sizes and can be easily
replaced.
