1.  Wrap the abrasive strip around the drum, 

being careful not to overlap the windings, as 
shown in Figure 9. 

 
2.  Mark the trailing end of the strip where it 

crosses the inboard end of drum (Fig. 10, 
Item A). 

 
3.  Remove the abrasive strip and cut a taper 

as was done with the starting edge, (See 
Figure 7). 

Note:

 The taper on the remaining 

roll can be used as the taper for the starting 
edge of the next strip to be cut. 

 
4.  Rewrap the drum starting at the left side as 

described in steps 3-5 on the previous page. 

 
5.  Raise the fastener lever completely 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 
11). 

 
The abrasive strip may stretch enough in use to 
allow the take-up fastener to reach its lowest 
position so that it is no longer able to maintain 
tension on the strip. If this occurs, it will be 
necessary to reset the take-up lever by raising it, 
pushing the strip end into the slot, and then 
releasing the lever. 
 
The Tuf Tool (Fig. 12, Item B) can also be used 
to hold the take-up fastener in place while you 
feed the sandpaper through the slot. Hold the 
Tuf Tool at an angle to insert the end into the 
hole in take-up fastener. Pull the tool up and 
rotate it 90° to clamp it onto the drum, (See 
Figure 12).
