Tips & Tricks

• It is very easy to do too much when using a powered sander. Check your workpiece time-to-time to make sure you don't over sand and take too much material off at one time.
• Keep the power cord away from the sanding disk, as it can get caught while the sander is in use, leading to possible injuries and/or damage to equipment.
• Make sure to have dust and eye protection on to stop small particles from going inside you.
• Connect the outlet of the sander to a vacuum hose to minimize the amount of dust being expelled in the room.
