3.Rotate the sanding drum to stretch the ten- sion spring. Slide the cap screw in the spring tension tool into the head of the cap screw securing the spring (see the inset box in Figure 18), then place the spring tension tool over the arm of the tension wheel as shown in Figure 18.
4.Remove the screwdriver, then lightly tighten the Phillips head screw in the spring tension tool to secure it to the tension wheel.
5.Repeat Steps 2–4 on the opposite end of the sanding drum, then remove the spring clips.
Note: Replace the paper on each drum individually. Once the paper is removed the drums can be slippery and hard to rotate.
6.Unwind the old sandpaper and use it as a pattern, or use the pattern in Figure 19, to cut the sandpaper to the necessary shape.

7.Start with the left side of the drum, fold the corner of the sandpaper into the spring clip, then install the clip onto the tension wheel. Tap the clip with a hammer or mallet to ensure it is seated.
Note: DO NOT pound the clip over the sand- paper. It is not necessary to drive the clip completely on, just make sure it is secure. Too much force will break the clip!
