I've had one inch sparks from the belt
to my hands while using it. Any suggestions?
It's chassis is connected to the power
plug ground.

Either the belt's not at ground or your hands not at ground. Try connecting
a wire from your hand to the frame (might want to use a resistor to limit
current) and see if the sparks are stopped. If you are grounded and the
machine is grounded it is the electrical equivalent of a wire connecting you
to ground, the same potential (should be) as power plug ground.
