hand and guiding the material onto the drum. Use this technique to warp 
the abrasive strip edge to edge radially around the drum. Make sure you 
do not overlap the material as you wrap the abrasive (Figure 16).  The 
material should be flush to slightly gapped, but not overlapped, during the 
wrap.

4.  When you have completely wrapped the drum, keep tension on the strip 

and insert the remaining tapered end of the strip into the slot in the drum. 
Using your right hand, raise the tensioner clip completely to open the jaws. 
Insert the tapered end of the abrasive strip (Figure 17). The tensioner clip   
will secure and tension the abrasive strip during use and will 

hold

 tension 

in the event the strip stretches during use. If the abrasive strip is not tightly 
captured,  the tensioner clip was not raised sufficiently to open the jaws 
properly before inserting the abrasive strip.
