1. Press fastener lever (Figure 6-7) on outboard
(left) end of drum and insert tapered end of
abrasive through slit in fastener, as shown.
Align tapered edge of abrasive strip with left
edge of drum. Insert enough strip so that the
right edge aligns with the reference notch; this
will ensure the proper length of strip to be
secured at the opposite end of the drum.
Figure 6-7
2. Release fastener lever to secure end of strip.
3. Begin wrapping abrasive around drum. The
tapered edge of strip end should follow as close
as possible to edge of drum.
4. Continue to wrap abrasive in spiral fashion by
rotating drum with one hand and guiding strip
with the other. See Figure 6-8.
Successive windings of strip must
not have any
overlap.
They should be flush with previous
windings or with a slight gap between.
Figure 6-8
5. Press inboard take-up lever (Figure 6-9) and
insert trailing end of strip as far as it will go. If
necessary, trim tapered end of abrasive strip.
6. Release inboard take-up lever to secure strip.
All abrasive strips will stretch over time as they are
used 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 reset the take-up lever.

Electrical Connections
Electrical connections must be
made by a qualified electrician in compliance
with all relevant codes. This machine must be
properly grounded to help prevent electrical
shock and possible fatal injury.
IMPORTANT:
Before connecting the sander to
power source, be sure the power switch is in
off
position.
115-Volt Operation
This sander is ready for 115V operation and must
be grounded. If a malfunction or breakdown occurs,
proper grounding reduces the risk of electric shock.
This shaper has a grounded three-prong electrical
plug.
We recommend that you connect this sander to a
dedicated 20-amp circuit with circuit breaker or fuse.
If connecting to a circuit protected by fuses, use time
delay fuse marked “D”.
NOTE:
Local codes take
precedence over recommendations.
7.1
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
You must connect the electrical
plug to a properly grounded, three-wire
electrical outlet as shown in Figure 7-1. If you do
not have a properly grounded, three-wire
electrical outlet, you must contact a qualified
electrician to install one. Installation must
comply with all local codes and ordinances. Do
not use this sander until a properly grounded,
three-wire electrical outlet is installed and ready
for use.
