5. Mark the trailing end of the strip where it
crosses the right (inboard) end of the drum
(Figure 11).
6. Remove the abrasive strip from the drum, and
cut a taper as was done with the starting edge
(see Figure 8). Note: The taper on the
remaining roll can be used as the taper for the
starting edge of the next strip to be cut.
7. Rewrap the drum beginning at the left, as
described in steps 2 through 4.
8. You can use your fingers to work the infeed
take-up fastener, but it will be more convenient
to use the TUFTool supplied with your sander.
Hold the TUFTool with the red end pointing
away from you (Figure 12) and insert its hook
into the outside hole of the fastener lever (see
Figure 14).
9. Lift the lever with the TUFTool, pulling the lever
up until it touches the inside of the drum.
10. Turn the TUFTool counterclockwise and lower
it onto the abrasive strip, making sure it is
holding the paper tight (Figure 13).
11. Insert the tapered end of the abrasive strip into
the slot and fastener. It may be necessary to
trim the tapered end of the abrasive strip so
that it does not "bottom out" against the inside
of the drum.
IMPORTANT: Leave a gap – at least 1/8" –
between the tapered strip and the closed end
of the slot (Figure 13) to allow strip to be pulled
into the fastener as needed. If necessary, trim
the outside edge of the abrasive strip.
12. Hold the abrasive in place with your left hand,
lift up the TUFTool and turn it clockwise while
maintaining upward pressure. Slowly move the
TUFTool away from you slightly, then down,
while easing it out of the hole. This releases the
lever in its proper position (Figure 14).
All abrasive strips will stretch in use and may
stretch enough to allow the take-up lever to reach
its lowest position so that it cannot maintain tension
on the strip. If this occurs, follow the above
procedures to re-set the take-up lever.
Always remove TUFTool from machine before
operating.
