2. Wind the abrasive around the drum, being careful not to overlap the
windings. The tapered cut of the wrap end should follow the edge of the
drum.
Continue to wrap the abrasive in a spiral fashion by rotating the drum with
your left hand and guiding the abrasive with your right hand. Successive
windings of the wrap should be flush with previous windings without any
overlap.
3. Squeeze the clip lever to open the clip and pull the take-up lever to the
top. Insert the tapered end through the slot in the inboard (right) end of the
drum.
4. The take-up fastener is designed to automatically tension the abrasive
wrap. If during use the abrasive wrap stretches enough to allow the take-
up lever to reach its lowest position and no longer maintain tension on the
wrap, see Abrasive Tension Adjustment.
Note:
The drum was removed to show the inboard (right) take-up fastener.
7. Machine Operation
Proper Abrasive Position
Position the abrasive in the slot with sufficient room between the inside
of the slot and the tapered end of the wrap to allow it to be pulled into the
drum as needed. If enough space is not left between the wrap and the
inside of the slot the take-up fastener will not operate properly.
Abrasive Tension Adjustment
The abrasive wrap may stretch enough to allow the take-up lever to reach
its lowest position. If this occurs, then the abrasive is no longer tensioned.
To fix this reset the take-up lever by raising it. Push the abrasive into the
slot and then release the clip lever.
Maximizing Abrasive Longevity
We recommend a sandpaper cleaning stick to remove deposits and help
extend the life of the abrasive.
1. To use the cleaning stick, operate the sanding drum with the dust cover
open and dust collection on.
2. Hold the cleaning stick against the rotating drum and move it along the
drum surface.
3. Use a brush to remove any cleaning stick remnants before resuming
operation.
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHILE PERFORMING ABRASIVE
CLEANING. TAKE ALL PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID ANY CONTACT WITH
HANDS OR CLOTHING.
