Using the TUF Tool
TM
The
Tuf Tool
(Figure 13) can also be used to hold
the take-up fastener in place while you feed the
sandpaper through the slot.
1. Clip the sandpaper into the outboard fastener.
Wrap the drum, being careful not to overlap the
windings. Hold the sandpaper over the inboard
slot with the left hand.
2. Hold the TUF Tool with the red end of the tool
pointing away from you (Figure 14). Insert the
hook into the hole in the end of the take-up
lever of the fastener (Figure 14).
3. Lift the lever with the TUF Tool, pulling the
lever up until it touches the inside of the drum.
Turn the TUF Tool counterclockwise and lower
it onto the sandpaper, making sure it is holding
the sandpaper tight and opening the throat of
the fastener (Figure 15).
4. Insert the tapered end of the paper into the slot
and the fastener. It may be necessary to trim
the tapered end of the paper so it does not
“bottom out” against the inside of the drum. Be
sure to leave a gap of at least 1/8” between the
tapered strip and the closed end of the slot to
allow the strip to be pulled into the fastener as
needed (Figure 15). If necessary trim the
outside edge of the paper.
5. Hold the sandpaper in place with your left
hand. Rotate the drum toward you slightly. Pull
up on the TUF Tool and turn the handle
clockwise while maintaining upward pressure.
Slowly move the TUF Tool away from you
slightly, then down, while easing it out of the
hole. This releases the lever into its proper
position. (Figure 16).
All abrasive strips will stretch with use and may
stretch enough to allow the take-up lever to reach
its lowest position so it cannot maintain tension on
the strip. If this occurs, follow the above procedures
to reset the take-up lever.
