 * Don't sand or leave anything wet unless you meticulously clean up afterwards, the table will rust.
 * For safe control, rest your workpiece on the table if possible. If this is not possible, hold your workpiece and rest your hands on the table (but away from the disc!). The danger is that the disc could grab your workpiece and jerk your hand onto the disc. Please be aware that any part of your hand that gets sanded will be removed, not smoothed.
