4. Unwind old sandpaper and use it as a pat-
tern (or use pattern in
Figure 72) to cut a
piece of 6" wide sandpaper of desired grit. It
is necessary to cut away a triangular portion
of sandpaper at each end.
Tip: Note direction sandpaper was wrapped
around drum.

5. Starting at left side of drum, fold corner of
sandpaper into spring clip, then install spring
clip onto tensioner.
Note: You may need to tap spring clip with a
hammer or mallet to ensure it is seated; how-
ever, you do not have to drive clip completely
on, just make sure it is secure. Too much
force will break the clip! Also, do not fold
paper over tensioner and then install spring
clip—the paper may tear as a result.
6. Pull sandpaper until tension wheel spring has
bottomed-out in its travel.
The following step is possible to accom-
plish alone, but it is much easier with help
from another person.
7. While one person rolls the drum, the other
tightly spirals sandpaper onto drum, ensur-
ing that there are no bubbles or overlapping
edges.
Tip: Try to leave a uniform
3
⁄
16
" gap between
spirals as you wind sandpaper around drum.
This will allow sandpaper to move and stretch
slightly and will decrease likelihood of tearing
and overlapping.
Installing/Replacing
Sandpaper (G1066R/
G1079R)
The Model G1066R/G1079R is designed for 6"
wide sandpaper rolls. The sandpaper roll attach-
es to the sanding drums with a spring clip on one
end and strapping tape on the other end of the
drum. The outfeed sanding drum is wrapped in
felt to slightly increase the drum diameter and to
provide a smooth sanded surface. The felt is 1"
from the edge of the drum to allow room for the
tape to adhere.
