ing at least two complete passes so second

Important Tips For Changing Sandpaper:
•
Replace sandpaper on each drum individual-
ly. Once paper is removed from both drums,
they can be slippery and hard to rotate.
•
Always fold sandpaper into spring clip and
then insert it.
•
The spring clip does not have to be driven
completely on.
•
Changing sandpaper is easier with help from
another person.
3. If needed, remove tape from first sanding
drum and unwind old sandpaper. Use it as a
pattern (or use pattern in
Figure 73) to cut a
piece of 3" 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.
