SANDPAPER PREPARATION

Sandpaper for drum sanders are trimmed specifically to properly wrap around the sanding drum. You can find pre-

cut drum sander sandpaper that is ready to use and requires no measuring or trimming. You can also purchase a

3-1/4 inch (82mm) wide sandpaper roll and trim it using the chart below or your existing sandpaper as a template.

SANDPAPER INSTALLATION

To remove the existing sandpaper (Fig. 7 & 8):

1. Disconnect the drum sander from the power supply.

2. Using a hex wrench, remove the cap screw and washer securing

the drum cover. Lift up the cover to expose the sanding drum.

3. Roll the sanding drum until the slot on the right side of the drum

is on top. Reach under the right lip of the drum to locate the spring

clamp (Fig. 7).

4. Push forward the clamp to release the tension on the sandpaper.

Slide out the end of the sandpaper from the slot.

5. Start unwinding the sandpaper from the drum (Fig. 8) until you

come to the clamping device on the left side of the drum.

6. Push the clamping device on the left of the drum to release the

grip on the sandpaper.

7. Remove the sandpaper.
