My father years ago was cutting wood with a power saw, all of a sudden
the saw stopped, he turned round to blast us kids when he noticed that
the power cord of the saw was about 4 inches long.
How the hell he didn't get fried we have no idea because this was
about 81 and the saw was a metail bodied beast.
Cheers

I recommend not laying the handset on the belt of your belt/disk sander
station - especially if the switch was inadvertently turned on while the
machine was unplugged.

Just a thought. No particular reason.

Damn!


Speaking hypothetically of course, if one were, hypothetically to
hypothetically do such a thing, what, hypothetically would happen?

Hypothetically, of course.

I have NEVER unwound only 30' of a 100' extension cord reel and
plugged in a chain saw and then wondered 20 minutes later where the
smell of burning rubber was coming from - after the first time.
