Sparks Will Fly

Sanding was cut short at 0.1 hours when my grandpa's old sander tried to electrocute me. It seems wires were exposed by the petrified insulation where the cord passes through a grommet at the end of handle (right next to my un-gloved wrist!)

Last night I had lowered the (quite heavy) sander down from the ladder by its power cable. Maybe that caused it to split. It didn't spit sparks at me until tonight.
