Demonstrate you can safely use the belt sander. You will then proceed to sand a piece of scrap material. Remember to always set the sander on its side to prevent it accidentally moving or doing damage.  Make sure the belt is the correct grit and in good condition before use. Depending on your project you will want to start with different grits of sandpaper. A good starting grit for medium to heavy material removal would be 120 grit.  If you want to be very aggressive with the material removal an 80 grit belt would be best.  Sand along the grain with smooth strokes. Let the weight of the sander do the work and don't push down into the work. Don't let the sander hang very far over the edge of the work piece otherwise you risk taking more material off on the edge. Always start and stop the sander off of the workpiece.
