I realise I wasn't that specific... Basically the wood dust is very fine and will get absolutely everywhere. So you're trying to create air locks to limit how far it gets across the house, and stop it settling on soft furnishings.
It will still manage to spread, but it's a lot easier to be wiping down surfaces in the adjacent rooms than hoovering and washing the clothes you left out in your bedroom upstairs.
Other points:
- go over the floor systematically with a hammer and punch. Exposed nails will rip the belt
- get way more belts and discs than you think - hire shops normally refund the ones you bring back
- change the bag frequently. Cleaning a split bag is no fun
- if you have a nice vacuum grab a sacrifical one from FBM.

yes, I have one of these already. Assume that is suitable for sanding potential lead paint? and the plastic sheeting will keep everything contained within the area I suppose, then wet wipe everything and then hoover?
Overly cautious im sure but would rather do it properly
