Cleaning Abrasive Strips
A sandpaper cleaning stick may be used to
remove deposits and help extend sandpaper life.
To use, operate the sanding drum with the dust
cover open.
Caution: For your own safety, always wear eye
protection while performing sandpaper cleaning,
and take all precautions to avoid any contact of
hands, or clothing with uncovered drums. Hold
the cleaning stick against the rotating drum and
move it along the drum surface. It is good idea
to use a shop brush or air nozzle to remove any
cleaning stick crumbs from the drums before
resuming sanding operations.
Cloth-backed abrasives can be cleaned by
soaking in paint thinner, or mineral spirits for 20
minutes to one hour. Then use a nylon brush to
remove any buildup.
Stretching Abrasive Life
Abrasive life can also be increased by removing
the abrasive strip from the drum and reversing it.
To do this, remove the strip and use what was
the trailing end as the starting end on the left
(outboard) side of the drum. Reversing the strip
will provide a fresh set of cutting edges on the
drum.
