9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition. Conductor size should be in accordance 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 extension cords if they become damaged.
Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get
caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear
is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also
use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to
hold work when practical. It’s safer than

Safety Instructions For Power Tools
13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep
tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing
and changing accessories, such as blades,
bits, cutters, and the like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off
position before plugging in.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the owner’s manual for recommended 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, binding 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 UNATTENDED. 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 during 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 complete. 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 equipment or poor work results.
Operating this equipment has the potential
to propel debris into the air which can
cause eye injury. Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment.
Everyday glasses or reading glasses only
have impact resistant lenses, they are not
safety glasses. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropriate standards 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 protection 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 ratings 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 overfused 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 11⁄2 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.
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 accordance 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.

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 extension 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 qualified 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 configuration complies with local and state codes.
Ensure compliance by checking with your
local municipality or a licensed electrician.
