- 1). Consult your local hardware store about the grade of sanding disc you'll need for the job. If you're removing varnish or sanding down a rough wooden surface, you'll need to opt for a coarser grade. If you're just smoothing out a few imperfections, you can go for something finer. It's best to get some advice about the nature of the job if you're unsure, as each scenario could call for a number of different sanding solutions.
- 2). Buy the required sanding discs from your local hardware store or online, ensuring that the ones you get have been specifically designed to work with the sander you're using.
- 3). Check the area of the sander where the sanding disc is to be applied to ensure that it is free of any dirt or sand residue.
- 4). Remove a sanding disc from its protective sleeve and press the Velcro-like side to your sander.
- 5). Turn the sander on and wait until it is moving at full speed before applying the abrasive to the surface you want to sand. If you start the machine while it is in contact with the surface you're sanding, you could cause damage.
- 6). Remove the sander from the surface you're working on before turning it off. The abrasion could cause damage if it is turned off while still in contact.
