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.
