f Always sand with the grain of the wood.
f Always start your sander before it is in contact with
the workpiece and do not switch it off until after it has
been lifted from the workpiece.
f Where possible, clamp the workpiece to a workbench
or similar sturdy surface.
f When sanding new layers of paint before applying
another layer, use extra fine grit.
f On very uneven surfaces, or when removing layers of
paint, start with a coarse grit. On other surfaces, start
with a medium grit. In both cases, gradually change to
a fine grit for a smooth finish.
