5. Wrap abrasive strip around the drum, being
careful not to overlap the windings, see
Figure 9.
6. Mark trailing end of strip where it crosses
the inboard end of drum (A, Fig. 10).
7. Remove the abrasive strip and cut a taper
as was done with the starting edge, see
Figure 7. Note: The taper on the remaining
roll can be used as the taper for the starting
edge of the next strip to be cut.
8. Rewrap the drum starting at the left side as
described in steps 3-5 on the previous page.
9. Raise fastener lever completely on the
inboard end of drum, and insert the tapered
end of abrasive strip through the slot into the
take-up fastener.
Important: Position the abrasive strip with
sufficient room between the inside of slot and
the tapered end of strip to allow it to be pulled
into the drum as needed, see Figure 11.
The abrasive strip may stretch enough in use to
allow the take-up fastener to reach its lowest
position so it no longer is able to maintain
tension of the strip. If this occurs, it will be
necessary to reset the take-up lever by raising it,
pushing the strip end into the slot, and then
releasing the clip lever.
The Tuf Tool (B, Fig. 12) can also be used to
hold the take-up fastener in place while you feed
the sandpaper through the slot. Hold the Tuf
Tool at an angle to insert the end into the hole in
take-up fastener. Pull the tool up and rotate 90°
to clamp onto the drum, see Figure 12.
