Operation:

Sanding your finished work is a step-by-step process. It starts with using relatively coarse sandpaper grits. This is dictated by the material you’re working on. Rough lumber will need a low grit like 60 or 80 to start. You want to get the bulk of the uneven surface out of the way quickly and with minimal effort. Smoother surfaces like already planed boards might need a few passes with 100-grit and then you’ll change to a higher, finer cutting surface like 150-grit.

Let the machine do the work. Applying too much pressure can hinder your sander's ability to do its job and can create an uneven surface or swirling if you press too hard.

Always allow your sander to reach full speed before placing it on the material. Removing the sander while it's running will also help prevent swirling. Please refer to the owner's manual for directions on each sander instructions.

No matter what kind of sander you're using, always keep it perfectly flat. Tipping it on its side will cause gouging.

Safety:

Wood dust is not healthy to breathe so use a dust mask.

Fine particles flying around can also irritate your eyes. Eye protection is recommended.
