Paper Replacement
G1066Z
The Model G1066Z is designed for 3" wide hook
and loop sandpaper rolls.
To change sandpaper on the G1066Z:
1. Disconnect the sander from the power
source!
2. Remove the top cover to expose the drums.
3. One drum at a time, unwind the old sandpa-
per and notice the direction that it was
wrapped around the drum.
4. Use the old sandpaper as a pattern to cut out
the new sandpaper.
5. Wrap the sanding drum with the new sand-
paper. Make sure to wrap the sandpaper
tight and try to keep the gaps to a minimum.
6. Tape both ends with
3
4" strapping tape, mak-
ing at least two complete passes so that the
second layer is directly on top of the first.
See Figure 15. Repeat steps 3-5 with the
other drum.
8. Hold the loose end against the right side of
the contact drum and wrap with duct tape to
secure. Double-check the drum to make sure
there are no bubbles or overlapping edges
and your gapping is correct.
9. Repeat steps 1-6 for the other drum.
10. Mount the hood and reconnect the flex-hose
to the dust collection ports.
Important Tips For Changing Sandpaper
Replace the paper on each drum individual-
ly. Once paper is removed from both drums,
they can be slippery and hard to rotate.
Always fold the paper into the spring clip and
then insert it.
The spring clip does not have to be driven
completely on.
Changing sandpaper is easier with the help
of another person.
