Confession time:

I have a Bosch 1276DVS 4 x 24 belt sander. I picked it up by the
handle to change belts after insuring that it was unplugged. In the
process I depressed the switch *and* the lock-on button.
I changed belts, set the sander upright on the end of my bench and
plugged it in. It took off like a dragster, hit the floor and bent
the front roller and suspension.
I don't remember how much repair parts were but it was a lesson.

I've often wondered about my belt sander... It has the switch on the
handle too, and when you naturally pick it up your finger's right on the
switch. There is no safety switch, so it'd be easy to accidently turn it
on.
