Work diagonally across the boards with the floor sander. If the boards aren't stained and in good condition, start with the medium grade sanding sheets. Otherwise, start with the coarse grade sheets. Work slowly across the room, overlapping each strip and keeping the machine moving all the time to stop ruts forming. Crisscross the room in the opposite direction to remove deep stains. Once you have sanded away the worst of the staining swap to the medium grade sheets and sand in the direction of the boards. Finish off with the fine abrasive again working up and down the boards.
