WARNING: If the sandpaper becomes loose during operation, it could result in kickback and injure
the operator. Make sure that the sandpaper is correctly installed and tightened securely on the sanding
PREPARATION
To install new sandpaper (Fig. 9 - 12):
1. Roll the sanding drum until the slot on the left of the drum is on
top. Reach under the left lip of the drum to locate the spring clamp.
2. Lift the clamping device and insert the end of the replacement
sandpaper into the slot (Fig. 9). Push the sandpaper so that about 1
inch of sandpaper is loaded to ensure enough grip. Align the left side
of the sandpaper with the left lip on the drum.
3. Release the left clamping device to hold the sandpaper in place.
Pull on the sandpaper to make sure the end of the sandpaper strip
has been securely clamped. If the strip comes loose, repeat steps 1
and 2.
4. Use your right hand to roll the drum away from you and use your
left hand to apply reasonable tension on the sandpaper while wrap-
ping the sandpaper onto the drum (Fig. 10). Make sure that the sand-
paper strip remains tight as you wrap it.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT overlap the sandpaper. The sandpaper
should be flush or slightly gapped in between, but not overlapped.
5. Once the drum is completely wrapped (Fig. 11), keep tension on
the sandpaper and insert the remaining end of the strip into the slot
on the right of the drum.
6. Press the clamp forward until the slot on the clamp is in line with
the slot on the drum. Insert the end of the sandpaper into the slot
and through the jaw of the clamp (Fig. 12).
NOTE: It may be helpful to insert a holding pin through the hole
on the sanding drum and the clamp to hold the clamp in place as
you are inserting the sandpaper. Remove the holding pin afterwards.
7. Release the clamp to secure the end of the sandpaper. Check that
the sandpaper is properly installed and is wrapped tight against the
drum.
8. Close the drum cover and replace the washer and cap screw.

PLANNING YOUR WORK
Planning your work before operation will help to save time and minimize setups. Group your workpiece by thick-
ness and grit requirements. Work through each required sanding grit from the thickest to the thinnest material.
Then, change to a finer grit sandpaper and work through the process again.
