Wrapping Abrasive Strips

Note: When using Performax “Ready to Wrap” and “Ready to Cut” abrasives, not all of the steps below are necessary. You can use the original abrasive belt that came with the sander as a template for cutting your own strips.

1.Mark and cut a taper at one end of the roll, as shown in Figure 8.

2.Square off the end of the taper, as shown in Figure 8.

3.Squeeze the fastener lever (Figure 9, Item A) on the outboard end of drum, and insert the tapered end of the abrasive (Figure 9, Item B) so that it uses most of the width of the slot. Release the fastener lever to securely hold the strip end to the fastener.

4.The square edge of the abrasive strip should follow the edge of the drum, as shown in Figure 9.

5.Wrap the abrasive strip around the drum, being careful not to overlap the windings, as shown in Figure 10.

6.Mark the trailing end of the strip where it crosses the inboard end of drum (Figure 11, Item C).

7.Remove the abrasive strip and cut a taper as was done with the starting edge, (See Figure 8). Note: The taper on the remaining roll can be used as the taper for the starting edge of the next strip to be cut.

8.Rewrap the drum starting at the left side as described in steps 3-5.

9.Squeeze the fastener lever on the inboard end of the drum, and insert the tapered end of the abrasive strip through the slot into the take-up fastener.

Position the abrasive strip with sufficient room between the inside of the slot and the tapered end of the strip to allow it to be pulled into the drum as needed, (See Figure 12).
