5. Wrap abrasive strip around the drum, being
careful not to overlap the windings, see
Figure 9.
6. Mark trailing end of strip where it crosses
the inboard end of drum ( A, Fig. 10) .
7. Remove the abrasive strip and cut a taper
as was done with the starting edge, see
Figure 7. Note: The taper on the remaining
rol l can be used as the t aper for the start ing
edge of the nex t strip to be cut.
8. Rewrap the drum starting at the left side as
descri bed in steps 3-5 on the prev ious page.
9. Raise fastener lever completely on the
inboard end of drum, and insert the tapered
end of abrasive strip thr ough the slot into the
take-up fastener.
Important: Position the abrasive strip with
sufficient room between the inside of slot and
the tapered end of strip to allow it to be pulled
into the drum as needed, see Figure 11.
The abrasiv e stri p may stretch enough i n use to
allow the take-up fastener to reach its lowest
position so it no longer is able to maintain
tension of the strip. If this occurs, it will be
necessary to re set the take- up lever by raisi ng it,
pushing the strip end into the slot, and then
releasing the cli p lever.
The Tuf Tool (B, Fig. 12) can also be used to
hold the take-up f ast ener in pl ac e while you feed
the sandpaper through the slot. Hold the Tuf
Tool at an angle to insert t he end i nto the hole in
take- up f astener. Pull the t ool up and rotat e 90°
to cl am p onto the dr um , see Figure 12.
