- Wear a dust mask to prevent inhalation of dust particles.
Work in a Well-Ventilated Area:
- Use the hand sander in a well-ventilated space to minimize exposure to dust and fumes. Consider using a dust collection system if available.
Secure Workpiece:
- Securely clamp or hold down the workpiece to prevent it from moving or vibrating excessively during sanding. This helps maintain control and prevents accidents.
Inspect the Sandpaper:

Maintain a Firm Grip:
- Maintain a firm and comfortable grip on the sander. Ensure that your hands are away from the sanding surface and any moving parts.
Avoid Excessive Pressure:
- Let the sander do the work. Avoid applying excessive pressure, as it can lead to loss of control and uneven sanding. Allow the tool to move smoothly across the surface.
