9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condi-
tion. Conductor size should be in accor-
dance with the chart below. The amperage
rating should be listed on the motor or tool
nameplate. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Your extension
cord must also contain a ground wire and
plug pin. Always repair or replace exten-
sion cords if they become damaged.

17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner’s manual for recom-
mended accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury.
18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur-
ther use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other
part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced.
19. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-
TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t
leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

G1140 Edge Sander -3-
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.
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.
10. DO NOT place hands near, or in contact
with belt during operation.
11. WEAR A DUST MASK OR RESPIRA-
TOR when sanding, even if you have a
reliable method of dust collection.
12. PERFORM MACHINE INSPECTIONS
and maintenance service promptly when
called for.
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.
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.
3. REPLACE BELTS WHEN WORN OR
DAMAGED. A torn or damaged belt could
be unexpectedly expelled from the
machine if not replaced.
4. KEEP YOUR WORKPIECE SOLIDLY ON
THE SANDER TABLE. A well-secured
workpiece is less likely to lose control dur-
ing sanding operations.
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.
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.
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).
Additional Safety Instructions For Sanders

-4- G1140 Edge Sander
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.
Be aware that other machines operating on the
same circuit simultaneously will also add load
which can cause the circuit protection system to
trip.
SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
220V/110V
Operation
The Model G1140 has a dual-voltage 11⁄2HP,
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.
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.
Circuit Load
Standard Locking
Figure 1. Two typical outlet/plug configurations.
Grounding
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.
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.
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.

G1140 Edge Sander -5-
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.
Extension Cords
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.
Wiring Diagram
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.

-8- G1140 Edge Sander
Site Considerations
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.
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.
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.
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.
Clean Up
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.
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.
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.
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.

G1140 Edge Sander -9-
Beginning Assembly
Assembly of the G1140 is straightforward. We
have organized the assembly process into steps.
Please follow them in sequence.
Tools Required: Only a few common tools are
needed to assemble this machine. Specifically, a
6" adjustable wrench, 12mm open end wrench,
regular and Phillips®screwdriver and an 8mm
Allen®wrench.

Get assistance and upright the machine.
This machine is very heavy and can be awk-
ward to handle without help. Get assistance
during periods of assembly which require
that the machine or any of its major compo-
nents be moved, tilted, or carried. Failure to
use proper lifting techniques could result in
serious injury or damage to the machine.
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 can
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 them.
Serious injury may occur.

essary to have the auxiliary table mounted at all
times and can be installed only when needed.
Operating this equipment has the potential
for respiratory damage to occur due to the
level of airborne dust it produces. Always
use a dust collection system AND wear a
dust mask or respirator to avoid breathing
wood dust. Serious personal injury may
occur.

Back Stop
Attach the back stop as shown in Figure 16. Set
the back stop no more than 1⁄8'' from the sandpa-
per. This will prevent objects from being jammed
between the back stop and the platen causing a
potentially dangerous situation.

Figure 18. Belt installed.
Belt Installation
1. Loosen the belt tracking lock knob on the top
left of the machine. Open the lid of the dust
port and move the quick release lever to its
locked open position. See Figure 17.
2. Check the back side of the belt for an arrow
indicating direction of rotation. The sanding
belt rotates counter-clockwise.
3. Slide the belt over the rollers. Move the quick
release lever back to its tensioned position.
See Figure 18. Belt tracking is covered in
the next section.
DO NOT attempt to operate this machine
without this back stop in place and properly
adjusted as described above. An improper
gap between the stop and the belt can cre-
ate a situation where a finger or hand can
get trapped against the moving belt.
Serious injury could occur.

Belt Tracking
SECTION 5: ADJUSTMENTS
Figure 19. Location of tracking knob.
1. Carefully move the belt left to right by hand
and adjust the tracking knob as necessary to
achieve proper tracking. See Figure 19.
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.
Auxiliary Table
Figure 20. Table adjustment thumbscrews.
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.
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.

Table Tilt
Figure 21. Table tilt adjustment.
1. Loosen the lock handles, tilt the working
table to the desired angle and retighten the
lock handles. See Figure 21.
2. It may be necessary to re-adjust the working
table closer to the platen. Not more than a
1⁄4'' gap should exist between the platen and
the working table.
Table Height
Figure 22. Table height adjustment.
1. Loosen lead screw lock handle and stabiliz-
ing shaft lock bolt. See Figure 22.
2. Turn hand wheel and position working table
to desired height.
3. Retighten lock handle and lock bolt.
