1.KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

2.REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning on.

3.KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

4.DON???T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRON- MENT. Don???t use power tools in damp or wet locations, or where any flammable or noxious fumes may exist. Keep work area well lighted.

5.KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All children and visitors should be kept a safe distance from work area.

6.MAKE WORK SHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

7.DON???T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

8.USE RIGHT TOOL. Don???t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

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.

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 cov- ering 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 safe- ty glasses.

12.SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It???s safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.

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 lubri- cating and changing accessories.

15.DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing and changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.

16.REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTION- AL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position before plugging in.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Figure 1. Two typical outlet/plug configurations.

Grounding

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.

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.

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.

Figure 2. Overview of all the parts.

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.

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.

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.

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.

G1140 Edge Sander

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.

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.

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.

1.Carefully lay the machine over on its side. Have someone assist you when doing this. Do not attempt to lay the machine over by yourself.

5.Install the hex nut and washer provided, and screw on until 1???2'' of the threaded end is vis- ible above the washer. Insert the threaded end of the vertical brace through the hole in the bottom of the table bracket and re-install the flat washer and hex nut back onto the shaft. See Figure 7.

6.Measure the table bracket to the stand to assure it is parallel to the stand. See Figure 8. If the bracket is not parallel, remove the vertical brace, thread the horizontal brace in or out an appropriate amount and reinstall the vertical brace.

Figure 8. Checking table bracket for parallelism.

7.Once the table bracket has been properly adjusted, tighten the horizontal brace jam nut and the two hex nuts that hold the verti- cal brace in place.

8.Attach the table trunnions to the table brack- et. Each is held in place with a 3/8'' flat wash- er and lock handle. See Figure 9. The trun- nion with the scale attaches to the left side.

Figure 9. Table trunnions installed.

9.Leaving the table trunnion lock handles slightly loose, bolt the working table to the trunnions using the two (2) 5???16''-18 x 3???4'' hex bolts and 5???16'' flat washers supplied. See Figure 10. Adjust the table so it is approxi- mately 1???8'' to 3???16'' from the edge of the sand- ing platen and tighten down the mounting bolts.

Figure 10. Attaching the working table.

10.Adjust the work table 90?? to the sanding plat- en by checking it with a square. Adjust as necessary and tighten the table lock han- dles. At this time adjust the pointer to 90??.

See Figure 11.

Figure 11. Setting the pointer to 90??.

Set the miter body onto its pivot hole and secure into place with the plastic lock knob provided. See Figure 12. The miter body should only be used when sanding the ends of workpieces at least 8'' long. Do not use it as a back stop.

Figure 12. Attaching the miter body.

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. Failure to ensure proper grounding could result in fatal or serious injury and/or equip- ment damage.

Make your workshop child-safe. Ensure that idle machines have their safety keys removed, sharp blades are stored safely out of reach, and that your shop is securely locked when your shop is not in use.

1.Loosen the belt tracking lock knob located at the top left of the machine.

2.Slide the quick release lever through the slot on the top of the platen cover. Thread it into place until it bottoms out. See Figure 13. It may be necessary to have an assistant push the idler roller back into the machine to allow the quick release lever to line up with the thread in the yoke.

Figure 13. Installing the quick release lever.

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).

Slide the auxiliary table into place as pictured in Figure 14. Tighten the two thumb screws when table is at desired working height. It is not nec- essary to have the auxiliary table mounted at all times and can be installed only when needed.

Figure 14. Installing the auxiliary table.

Bolt the dust hood on using the hex bolts already threaded in place. See Figure 15.

Figure 15. Dust hood mounted in place.

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.

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 16. Back stop properly installed.

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.

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.

Figure 17. Sander ready for belt installation.

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.

Figure 18. Belt installed.

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.

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.

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.

Figure 20. Table adjustment thumbscrews.

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.

Figure 21. Table tilt 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.

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.

Figure 25. Belt tension mechanism.

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).

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.

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.

Figure 26 depicts a typical edge sanding process. The back stop can be used for shorter workpieces if so desired.

Figure 26. Typical edge sanding method.

Figure 27 depicts a typical method for sanding the end of a workpiece.

Figure 27. Typical end grain sanding method.

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.

Figure 28. Typical face 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.

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 29. Typical contour sanding method.

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.

Make a habit of inspecting your sander each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary.

1.Loose mounting bolts.

2.Worn switch.

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.

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.

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.
