- Move with the Grain: Always sand in the direction of the wood grain to prevent scratches and achieve a professional finish.
- Pases superpuestos: Make overlapping passes to ensure uniform sanding across the entire surface.
- Avoid Dwelling: Do not allow the sander to remain stationary on the workpiece while running, as this can create depressions or burn marks.
