Preparation for the Job
The first thing to do is to remove all furniture from
the area you are sanding. Do not try to sand around furniture, it will only
cause problems.
The second thing to do is to seal off the area.
Sanding invariably produces lots of dust and it will travel to other rooms if
allowed. If there are doors to adjoining rooms, close and tape around them.
If there are openings with no doors, seal them up with plastic or a drop cloth.
If there are registers for air conditioning/heating, remove them and tape over
the duct. Next use masking tape to protect baseboards from the edges of the
sander.
Inspect the floors for exposed nail heads and other
debris. If there are exposed nail heads, you will need to use a nail set to
drive them below the surface of the floor. Clean any other debris from the floor as well.
