13.Place the end of the sandpaper into the clamp, secure it, and remove the hex wrench from the access hole.
14.If the sandpaper does not fit into the right clamp, you may have inserted the sandpaper too deeply into the left clamp. Also, check to make sure the length, width, and angled cuts match the pattern in Figure 19. Make adjust- ments to the sandpaper if necessary.
If sandpaper completely covers the access hole, you may have placed too little sandpa- per into the left clamp. Unwrap the sandpaper and redo Steps 8–13.
15.In either case, reinstall the sandpaper, repeat Steps 9–13, and continue adjusting the paper until it fits into the clamp.
16.When finished, reinstall the chip deflector, secure it with the three cap screws, and close the cover.
