The Multitool
Use Good Technique
Don’t push down on the sander: it’s important to let the machine’s weight do the work. Make sure to go slowly, and overlap passes, allowing the tool to go past the end without dipping. Also, ensure you don’t tip the sander, and don't change speed or direction. A handy tip is also to put the cord over your shoulder, then it’s out of your way and you’re free to work.
