Blow

Please edit it:

Blow with air to clean dust after rubbing with sand paper

It is effective to blow away any dust on a surface with compressed air. Hold air rubber hose over 100-200mm high from the surface, and wave it to blow away dust.

Note: Don't touch the surface, which is rubbed by sand paper, with the front end of the hose, or the surface will be injured.
If you hold the very front end of the hose, you cannot wave it up and down, and the dust-cleaning effect will be no good.

'Blow away any dust after rubbing with sandpaper.'

In your second paragraph, you would want an imperative in the first sentence, to match the style of the second. In this kind of writing, you usually use short sentences:

'Use compressed air to remove an
