Jet Tools 22-44 Pro operating instructions

8.You can use your fingers to work the infeed take-up fastener, but it will be more convenient to use the TUFTool supplied with your sander. Hold the TUFTool with the red end pointing away from you (Figure 15) and insert its hook into the outside hole of the fastener lever (see Figure 17).

9.Lift the lever with the TUFTool, pulling the lever up until it touches the inside of the drum.

10.Turn the TUFTool counterclockwise and lower it onto the abrasive strip, making sure it is holding the paper tight (Figure 16).

11.Insert the tapered end of the abrasive strip into the slot and fastener. It may be necessary to trim the tapered end of the abrasive strip so that it does not “bottom out” against the inside of the drum.

IMPORTANT: Leave a gap – at least 1/8” – between the tapered strip and the closed end of the slot (Figure 16) to allow strip to be pulled into the fastener as needed. If necessary, trim the outside edge of the abrasive strip.

12.Hold the abrasive in place with your left hand, lift up the TUFTool and turn it clockwise while maintaining upward pressure. Slowly move the TUFTool away from you slightly, then down, while easing it out of the hole. This releases the lever in its proper position (Figure 17).

All abrasive strips will stretch in use and may stretch enough to allow the take-up lever to reach its lowest position so that it can not maintain tension on the strip. If this occurs, follow the above procedures to re-set the take- up lever.

Always remove TUFTool from machine before operating.
