How Do You Turn On A Portable Electric Sander?
“Hi, my name is Matthew Christian from Tampa, Florida and today I’d like to talk to you about a portable electric sander. As I mentioned earlier most portable electric sanders run on 110 or house current. Pretty much any extension cord will work. These sanders don’t require significant amounts of power. You don’t need a very heavy gauge extension cord, your standard, I think this is a fourteen gauge extension cord, will do. But to power it up, first, make sure your sander is in the off position, make sure the power switch is off. And then a little helpful thing that I like to do is before I connect my extension cord, to help keep it from coming unplugged while you’re using it, we’re going to tie a knot in the cord. We’ll just hold the two, come around, draw it into a knot and now you can plug it in. Notice that one pole on the extension cord is larger than the other so it will only go in one way.
