3.
Rotate the sanding drum to stretch the ten-
sion spring. Fit the end of the spring tension
tool shaft through the hole in the tension
wheel arm (see Figure 30) and into the head
of the cap screw securing the spring.
4. Remove the screwdriver.
5. Repeat Steps 2–4 on the opposite end of
the sanding drum, then remove the spring
clips. Note: Replace the paper on each drum
individually. Once the paper is removed the
drums can be slippery and hard to rotate.
6. Unwind the old sandpaper and use it as a
pattern, or use the pattern in Figure 31 to
cut the sandpaper to the necessary shape,
or see Figure 32 if using a different width of
sandpaper.

7. Start with the left side of the drum, fold the
corner of the sandpaper into the spring clip,
then install the clip onto the tension wheel.
Tap the clip with a hammer or mallet to
ensure it is seated. Note: DO NOT pound the
clip over the sandpaper. It is not necessary to
drive the clip completely on, just make sure it
is secure. Too much force will break the clip!
8.
Tightly spiral the paper onto the drum, ensur-
ing there are no bubbles or overlapping
edges, leaving a uniform
the spirals as you wind the paper around the
drum.
9. Fold the corner of the loose end into the
spring clip, then install the clip onto the right
tension wheel.
10. Remove the spring tension tool from the ends
of the sanding drum to tension the paper, and
repeat Steps 2–10 for the other drum.
