Safety First

Follow safety instructions given by the manufacturer to avert any eventuality arising due to careless handling or mishandling of sanders.
Wear safety eyewear to protect your eyes from dust and debris generated during use of sanders.
Put earplugs to protect your ears from the high-decibel noise. Sanding activities generate a high pitched sound which can prove harmful to ears and cause hearing problems as well. So, using earplugs while operating sanders is highly recommended.
There should be no use of sanders in areas close to electric sparks and flames. Using Sanders in such areas can lead to fire hazards.
