Let's begin! First off, make sure you have read the machine's manual (should be linked from its wiki page).
Safety
ear defenders and gloves are also recommended when working with a sander (and shop vac) for an extended amount of time
Dangers | Precautions |
---|---|
lots of fine dust from wood or plastics - can irritate lungs and skin |
|
sparks from sanding metal |
|
powerful movements can make the workpiece shift (or fly!) and let a handheld sander "run away" |
|
some of the sanders have no prevention of turning on after loss & restoration of power (keine Anlaufsicherung) | make sure the tool is turned off before plugging it in |
Protect the Velcro
Do NOT sand with parts of the velcro pad uncovered - this will wear it out and lead to much poorer bonding of the next piece of sandpaper!
Suggested Reading
Besides these safety notes, you should read the page about dust to get a better conception of the dangers associated with some materials! Remember, you are responsible for the material you choose and for protecting yourself.
