5.Reach under the left drum lip and lift up on the clamping device to release its grip on the sandpaper, then remove the sandpaper.

6.Lift up on the same clamping device from Step 5, then insert the end of the replace- ment strip so that it fills as much of the slot as possible and is aligned with the left side of the slot.

7.Release the clamping device to hold the strip in place, then tug on it to make sure it is secure.

—If the strip comes loose when you tug on it with reasonable force, repeat Steps 5–6until it is properly secure.

If the sandpaper strip comes loose during operation, it could cause the workpiece to bind and kickback at the operator, which could result in serious personal injury. Always make sure the sandpaper strip is properly installed and firmly secured by the clamping devices before connecting the sander to power.

8.While keeping reasonable tension on the strip with one hand, roll the drum away from you with the other hand to wrap the strip onto the drum (see Figure 20).

Important: When wrapping the strip onto the drum, a minimum 1⁄8" gap between the edges may be necessary, but do not overlap. Additionally, make sure that the strip remains tight without any slack.
